			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>From the start of this year I have started a trial of using <a title="Wikipedia on blogs" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog">blogs</a> with my two Key Stage 4 classes. The idea is to have a hub of information related to the class and the work we do.</p>
<p>I have set up one blog per class and am currently hosting them on my <a title="Mathsduck homepage" href="http://mathsduck.co.uk">Mathsduck.co.uk</a> website with separate blogs for my <a title="Year 10 class blog" href="http://mathsduck.co.uk/td/08-09/year10/">Year 10</a> and <a title="Year 11 class blog" href="http://mathsduck.co.uk/td/08-09/year11/">Year 11</a> higher GCSE groups.</p>
<p>The backbone of the blogs are regular posts about what we have covered in the lessons with examples, explanations and links to other resources. Currently I am posting these, but I hope to explore the possibility of getting the students to at least be involved in this process.</p>
<p>I am also posting separate posts about homework including copies of worksheets and reminders of due dates.</p>
<p>I hope that the blogs will be a valuable resource to both groups. Something they can use regularily as a way to remind themselves of what we have covered in lessons, catch up on work they have missed and as a useful resource for revision.</p>
<p>In future posts I will talk about some of the ideas I have for developing the use of the blogs and about how and why I have set them up as I have. You can follow the blog trial specifically from the &#8216;<a title="Class blog trial" href="http://classroomtech.org.uk/category/class-blog-trial/">Class blog trial</a>&#8216; category link at the top of the page.</p>
<p>Please have a look at the blogs and see what you think. If you want to make a comment or ask a question about the blogs, please do so here on Classroomtech.org.uk. If you want to comment for the pupils&#8217; benefit then feel free to do so on the class blogs.</p>
