You may be wondering why we are going to be blogging this year.  Or, maybe you are thinking what will you blog about.  Read on and get an idea of what will be expected of you.  First of all, blogging isn’t just about writing posts; it’s about sharing your learning and reflecting on what you have discovered. 

Important parts of the blogging process include:
1. Read each others posts
2. Interact and comment on each others posts by challenging each others thoughts and views
3.Write posts in response to each others posts.

The class blog is the central hub that connects student blogs together; making it easier to share their learning, interact with each other and a global audience.
