My colleague Craig Stebbing has recently seen the light and begun to keep a blog to use with his maths classes: Stebblog. He is using it in a way that I haven’t seen before. Rather than it being a scribe post blog, it is a place where he posts homework assignments. He is encouraging his classes to post questions about the homework as comments. Then either he or other students can reply to the questions.

The pupils seem quite enthusiastic about this, so I’m looking forward to seeing how it works out. I suspect that in time Craig may decide to run a separate blog in which to reflect upon how things are going.
Meanwhile, I spent some time on Wednesday helping Paul Goodall at PL to set up a class blog for his S5 maths class. I’ll post the URL once he’s got started properly.

My wonderful S3 general maths class have begun blogging. Mhari volunteered to be scribe for yesterday’s lesson, and produced a great first post, on Prime Numbers. She has set the standard high! Her post does contain one little slip - I’m hoping that someone else in the class will spot it and mention it in a comment, as well as giving her some positive feedback on a great post.
