Blogs Blogs Blogs, Can't get Blog's of my mind!
Wow, another way to sue blogs in the classroom. I was looking at the blog site ''Boys Blogging Books' and thought to myself as I was stuffing more bitefulls of banana chips into my mouth
'What an excellent idea to get boys (oh, and girls) interested in reading books (not to say that their not already interested in reading books)! Stop it George and get back to the point
It was interesting to see that by using blogs can help expose the students to a wider community to work in. Being that I worked on the Multimodal Literacy Project and completed a ''Cooperating Communities'' project where my studnets spoke to another school in Korea via the use of Edublogs, I can confidently say that I am quite familiar about how blogs can help educate students and make them motivated as a multimodal twenty first century learner.

Module 1
Hey everyone,
My name is George Bounos (a.k.a Georgie Porgie). Yeah I know, it's just stuck with me from primary school. Go figure that I'm back in primary school and I'm still referring to myself as Georgie Porgie! I teach Year 4 at St. Mel's in Campsie. This is my 3rd year as a teacher.
Anyways, I'm here to comment on Module 1 of the Web 2.0 course. I found it really easy to complete the module because of all the help provided on the my classes page. I found it bothersome to have to create another internet account, but I took the advice of a friend and just kept making my username and password as universal as I could so that I wouldn't keep forgetting them! And trust me, that did help not having to remember different usernames and passwords all the time.
I found it fun creating my very own gadget and personalising my igoogle homepage. I chose the theme of the day so that everyday I have some new great images and themes to keep me interested and motivated.
It was a great Module
Thanks
George Bounos
