Welcome to the Icy Tea News. Many of you will know that I have tried a number of formats for Icy Tea: Google slides and the devicesquad wiki for example. In the spirit of experimentation, here is the latest venue for ICT ideas. You are reading this because you followed a link, but if you want a reliable way to keep up to date, type an email address into the box on the right-hand side and you'll get updates when something is posted (your address won't be seen by anyone and won't be used for any other purpose).
Blogs are an excellent medium for many sorts of online communication. As well as text, you can place pictures, videos and Google forms and documents, for example. Blog posts have dates associated with them, so they are arranged in chronological order. They can also be tagged and can be searched.
Last week, 100 Grade 9 students and 10 teachers spent a week in the valley of the Haute-Sûre. We recorded our experiences and communicated with home on a blog. It also had a gallery of photographs associated with it. A large number of students contributed and several teachers added photos. The link is below:
Grade 9 Adventure Blog
There are about 20 blog posts; just keep scrolling down. We didn't do it this time, but you could also use the blog for communicating with parents beforehand.
If you are going on a school trip and would like advice about setting up a blog, please let me know.
