We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
This blog outlines my inquiry journey on the use of blogs in the classroom. I am interested in exploring ways in which we can make our teaching practices relevant to the lives of the students we are teaching. I also want to ensure that teaching and learning are collaborative approaches for the teacher and students. I have an interest in interactive pedagogy so through this inquiry I am exploring the use of blogs in primary classrooms as an interactive multimedia which draws on new literacies and takes learning into the 21st century. I am not sure where I will be going and what the end outcome will be - but I hope to start understanding the ways in which blogs are expanding our understandings of literacy and allow for interaction and collaboration between students, teachers and the wider community.
