2OG BLOGS Donal O’ Mahony, Portmarnock Community School, Ireland.
οƒ’ north County Dublin οƒ’ co-educational οƒ’ 825 students 12 – 18/19 years of age οƒ’ 61 full-time teachers οƒ’ ...Junior Certificate Examination οƒ’ ...Leaving Certificate Examination
10G/20G/ 30G – A JUNIOR CERTIFICATE GROUP
THE STUDENTS DIGITAL HISTORY... οƒ’ As 10G, they used three online applications at a basic level οƒ’ Moodle οƒ’ Blabberize – talking photos οƒ’ Google sites οƒ’ They were all familiar with the WYSIWYG editor
Essential to many digital and social media applications What You See Is What You Get
οƒ’ In their Second Year I wanted to move to an application οƒ’ that was easy to teach, οƒ’ that had useful digital media features οƒ’ that would support the history-syllabus
WORDPRESS SERVED BY EDUBLOGS οƒ’ WordPress is a blogging application using the WYSYGYG editor  I was very familiar with it from my own blogging οƒ’ Edublogs is an Australian company that configures WordPress for teachers  a small fee: fifty advert-free blogs, bulk creation of blogs, one hundred themes, extra-features e.g. creating personalised headers.
THE BLOGGING PROJECT οƒ’ Taught over one period per week 12.05 – 12.40 on Thursdays οƒ’ In an ICT room with thirty functioning PC’s οƒ’ Reliable broadband οƒ’ The students generally had good internet access at home οƒ’ I had briefed their parents by letter, presentation and got written permissions
οƒ’ At first a class blog – I created the posts they responded – figuring out what a blog is!
THEIR OWN BLOGS οƒ’ Choose a person in history.....Within the Junior Certificate History syllabus there are key people in history whom students study. οƒ’ Some of these are generic e.g. the life of a woman in Celtic Ireland, while some are specific, for example, a named Renaissance artist.
οƒ’ Create a number of postings οƒ’ Respond to each others posts οƒ’ Design using the WordPress themes  Use text Create Hyperlinks  Use images WYSIWYG editor  Embed video (explanation of very basic html)
οƒ’ Good quality internet search οƒ’ Good quality content οƒ’ Responsible online behaviour οƒ’ Plagiarism οƒ’ Netiquette οƒ’ Presentation skills οƒ’ Responsibilities of ownership
30 INDIVIDUAL BLOGS
οƒ’ 20G Blogs οƒ’ Anne Frank οƒ’ John Hume
THEIR THOUGHTS...
AS THEIR TEACHER οƒ’ Time οƒ’ Risk οƒ’ Constantly learning and relearning οƒ’ Transformation of practice
