As more and more of the educators in our community explore what technology tools can do to assist them in helping students learn, blogs remain popular as a simple, effective way to communicate, collaborate and celebrate.
Gary Borg is the principal at Holy Family Primary at Luddenham. His blog, Principalville charts Gary’s journey and is an enlightening read; in a recent post he asks “Can I make such a difference? How do I nurture and keep afresh my passion?”. These questions are shared by us all. Another blog, Holy Family School Conversations is used to support professional learning within the school, and is full of terrific ideas, anecdotes and links to other sites exploring how technology can best support student learning.
John Laffan is approaching his blog slightly differently. Laffan Out Loud is a new online news source for the parents and community of St Michael’s Primary School, in Blacktown South. Using a blog allows the ubiquitous newsletter to become a starting point for conversation – what a great idea!
Sharing the Story is written by Mary Anne Cartwright at Holy Cross Primary School at Glenwood, and documents many of the school and parish celebrations. Its spiritual character shines through and is a terrific example of using technology to share the message about the Catholic faith with families, the community and beyond.
What is your school doing to communicate, collaborate and celebrate?
