Description
Summary:	Teachers can make good use of blogs and online collaboration. Head of geography Sally Sumner never thought she d be able to set up and use an effective online resource. Now she uses blogs at Bury Church Secondary school as a resource in the classroom and as a revision tool for pupils. MFL teacher Janet McCann finds blogging provides invaluable motivation for many of the boys in her class, and we hear why the pupils find this technology so engaging. At Priestsic Primary School in Nottinghamshire ICT co-ordinator Tom Barrett uses online collaboration tools to enable peer assessment that develops the pupils literacy skills. Collaborative online educational games also improve pupils numeracy skills as they work on a safe environment on the web.
