Blogging newcomer

My hope is that this site will become a place to put my thoughts about the course on paper, and in particular express the value of ICT in education.The ability to utilise computers and the internet in my teaching will become an incredibly useful resource. Until recently I had though children were taught to stay away from the internet due to all the negative and corrupting influences on it, which maybe prudent but with the right parental controls and barriers in place the benefits will far outweigh the dangers. I hadn’t realised that children were encourage to create their own blogs and that many schools have very large online communities and presence.
The ability to use this space as a place to collect links for online resources will be especially useful.
