    Fantastic podcast! I have been following Kathleen's class blog for the last 12 months and have just recently subscribed to Linda's, so it was so great to hear both of them speaking about their blogging experiences. Thank you for all the great tips, especially about effective commenting, and also how to inform and include parents. I am sure I will listen to it again and again, and hopefully kickstart my own class blog this year. Many thanks!

    It is an Excellent to get an award "student blogging".Awards are wonderful. I've been nominated many times
    and I've won many awards. But my journey is not towards that. If it
    happens it will be a blast. If it doesn't, it's still been a blast.

    The Article is vary good to read .As a general rule, teachers teach more by what they are than by what they say.
