Last week I led a workshop on blogging and microblogging at CILT’s 14-19 Conference in Nottingham. I was very excited to be able to show the delegates who attended my workshop how easy it was to create and maintain your own classroom or subject blog.

I remain convinced that many teachers are put off from this sort of thing because they fear it’s too difficult or because they think it’s far too technical. By highlighting what a classroom or subject blog could be used for and by recording just how easy it is to start and maintain your own blog , I hope to motivate more teachers to give blogging a go and to show that it can be done with only minimal technical knowledge: If you can word-process, you can blog!

I am aware I do say “simply” and “you can also…” rather a lot in this video, but it just goes to show that there are lots of things you can do with a blog and that it is indeed very simple. Hope I am getting the point across!

The blogging platform showcased in this video is Wordpress. If you are interested in finding out more about blogging, please read my previous post.

I hope this video is useful to you or your colleagues. Do let me know what you think.
