As part of our department goals this year we want to get more stuck into blogging with the students.To help with this, we are having regular PD sessions together to focus on strategies to use in the classroom to support the students to blog about their Technology work.
After out first PD session, I altered the template so I could use it in Graphics ( blog post here ) and out homework was to try the template with our students before the next PD session.
I have given it a go with my 3 intermediate classes this week.
Here are links to some of their posts.

I projected the template on the whiteboard and I also shared the template directly with the students so they could see it on their screen and refer to it.
After a little confusion when I did this with the first class, where a couple of the students made a copy of the template and started answering the questions on the document rather than their blog, it went quite smoothly.
I need to give them a little more time in the lesson in order to complete the blogging task as they did not all complete it and they finished it up when they got back to their own schools.
