Blogging is a simple and easy way to create and update a website. With the aid of a digital camera and a microphone a teacher or pupil can easily and quickly insert photos, audio clips or video clips onto the blog. These ICT tools can be used within the classroom to enhance teaching and learning in any curriculum subject. This presentation explores how a blog is being used in a fifth class. The blog is updated regularly by pupils and the class teacher. Every pupil has a unique pseudo username and password and they are able to update the blog on a computer at the back of the classroom.
