How Can Teachers Blog?

If you want to know how others are blogging in Education them pop over to ScotEdublogs. This is like an archive of blogging teachers who have place links and a short description of what their blogs are about.

Hi,
You might be interested in this offshoot of the ScotEdublogs Wiki:
ScotEduBlogs News the sites purpose is to keep up with Scots Edu blogs without wasting time. It list the latest posts from the linked blogs on the front page, but you can use the ScotEduBlogs News to create rss feeds of an mix of blogs using tags. A work in progress at the moment, open source project made by Scottish Teachers.
it started life on the SEB wiki:
Scots Edu Blogs Aggregation Project where you can read about it or join in the design and development. There is a google group for the development and the start of a support blog at scotedublogs aggregation

Thanks John for the advice as it does make it easier to see at a glance who up-dated their blog each day - I certainly will be viewing this area to keep up with others.

Hi,
its not just teachers that are blogging in education. I am a science technician in East Lothian and blog regularly. My blog is helping raise the profile of technicians and I have had a lot of positive feedback. A journalist for TES Scotland contacted me after stumbling across my blog and subsequently a small article about my blog and my job as a science technician appeared in the paper last week.

Thanks Brian. I am well aware that not only teachers blog - gosh we have a cleaner at our school that blogs. The pupose of this post was to show how teachers as blogging with children. Thanks for the comment though and will surely be looking at your blog for some technical info. Sharon

Hi, im also a science technician who also runs a blog (dont mean to sound repetative here)

Nice to see a list of active blogs, although I am dissapointed to notice that none of them are science related.
