Paper Blogs.

On the 28/02 we partook in a task of which could be used with in the class room to promote technology. As the students we were asked to create a paper blog. Each student was asked to write on a piece of paper a blog recount of our first two weeks at university, assessing it in blog terms.

We then used coloured pieces of card to display our blogs as if they were online. Using this card our hand written blogs were glued to the piece of paper and using coloured card and other decorative tools such as coloured pens, coloured paper and more. The aim of this task being that we use creative materials to represent a technological application.

As a class we were then asked to walk around the workshop room and read one or two other peoples blogs and to then using a sticky note, post a comment onto their blog in the same form as you would use online. This gave students the opportunity to get an idea of how others may have been posting online and also gains an idea of how many others will have been feeling similar to themselves a out the first couple weeks at university.

Through this task we had identified an activity that not only we had enjoyed but with correct equipment younger children with in the class room would also enjoy and could do for s number of hours or over a number of lessons through out a term. Not only would this task be useful for creativity task but also to educate children on What a blog is, Why it is used, Who may use it, language used in a blog and maybe even to raise early awareness of cyber bullying.
