Woodland Grange Primary School Blogs

In January 2002 the Woodland Wide Web added a new dimension to its online presence....blogging. A 'weblog' or 'blog' is an online journal or diary. The activity of updating a blog is " blogging" and someone who keeps a blog is a "blogger." Blogs are typically updated daily using software that allows people with little or no technical background to update and maintain the blog. Postings on a blog are almost always arranged in chronological order with the most recent additions featured most prominantly.

We began by creating 'class blogs' where the children, using a browser interface developed in school, could blog the latest news and samples of work from their class. The School Council then set up their own blog to keep everyone up to date with their decisions. The FOWG (our PTA) quickly requested a blog as a way of keeping everyone infomed of their latest news and events. Our site now contains many many blog pages run by pupils, staff, parents and governors. The blogs are integrated into the site's design and are not always immediately obvious. Look for the symbol which our bloggers click on to log into their page.

We have assisted a number of local schools with the integration of blogs into their sites. For further information please do contact us.
