Therefore we find it hard to get blogging. I have only once posted here during a working day, a very short <a href=\"http:\/\/www.sandaigprimary.co.uk\/pivot\/pivot\/entry.php?id=407\" title=\"Permanent link to entry 'Prize'\"> joke-post <\/a> at playtime.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t think the odd inservice day will make someone a blogger, probably the best chance is to encourage student teachers to use it as a tool for reflection (see <a href=\"http:\/\/edcompblog.blogspot.com\/2005\/10\/i-wont-do-it-and-you-cant-make-me.html\" title=\"permanent link\">I wont do it and you can&#8217;t make me<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.exc-el.org.uk\/content\/index.php\/main\/exc_el_community\/exc_el_weblogs\/ollie_bray_s_weblog\/the_first_week\/richard_ledingham_weblog\">Richard Ledingham<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Personally I feel almost constantly behind on reading, thinking and posting and I really try to keep up. Like a lot of worthwhile (IMO) practise in schools, we need more time to do it.<\/p>\n<p>Ewan&#8217;s other post today are great reads too, I&#8217;ve not time to write anything, but be assured Ewan, you make me think. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ewan has been Finding time to blog.
