Revolution, I’d prefer evolution

Steve gives some alternative views of the first UK Edublogger Conference.

his final post calls for Revolution

Revolution is fast and furious. And comes suddenly, before anyone is truly aware. Blogs are the answer.

I’d prefer something gentler, I don’t think of blogging as a revolution, it is a natural extension of normal classroom practice. We try to give children purpose for tasks, we display their work. The world wide wall display is a new way of doing that, providing purpose and a bigger audience.
