Apart from utisling
google’s chrome books, google also offers “blogspot” – a website via google
that enables writing and maintaining blogs. As you can see from this blog,
compiling a blog is utilising modern technology to create what is fast
developing as a popular new form of text. No longer is literacy limited to
poetry, fiction, non fiction, plays and film. This new form of text is seen as
a “hypertext”. It involves multiple forms of texts displayed in one through
using technology. Blogs are a great way of presenting this. In a blog you can
incorporate quizzes, polls, writing, video’s and all this through another element of
translation.
Like A.P.H.S.’s
school ethos of using modern technology and multiculturalism side by side,
blogs as a part of lessons to answer, create, analyse and explain concepts is
an excellent activity that can be utilised.
