STAFF INSET

Blogging and podcasting

Well done to all the teachers at Manford for a fantastic staff meeting! Tonight we learnt how to create a blog and how to podcast. It was a jam packed session with hands on activities. All teachers were very enthusiastic and excited at the prospects blogging and podcasting will bring.


Here we are creating our first podcast!!

These are two new ways of communicating, collaborating and sharing work and events with a wider audience instantly and I am sure people will fly with this and begin to build these tools into the curriculum and outside of it.
There were some excellent podcasts recorded to promote reading by teachers. Take a listen at the following link (scroll to Redbridge-Manford-Teacher examples) - to access them click the link that follows:

Blogging


Manford are now fully up and running with blogging (on line diaries) and each year group is about to begin their own blogs. Feel free to post a comment on anything that interests you on any of the blogs.
