Learning anything new is a challenge and believe me trying to teach someone set in their ways is even harder. Lets hope you are more receptive and embrace this as i am trying to do.

I have set up an initial blog for each of you. What you now need to do is personalise this. Make it your own in terms of what you want fellow bloggers to see.

Welcome to the 9E page. It is hoped that you will use this as an engaging resource to enhance your learning and participation in class. It is hoped that this will be a journey for all parties concerned that will see us grow in communication skills as we exchange and share ideas; build our skills in patience as we start, struggle and overcome the challenges of using social media- just to name a few.

Once you have set up your individual blogs, answer the following :

1. What are some of the advantages of using social media in the classroom?

2. What are you excited about with regards to this new addition to the English class?

3. What sites are you familiar with and can bring to the classroom?
