I was worried that I was just ‘messing about’ with making a blog for the Classroom Displays group. Well, actually two blogs one on James Falmer’s Edublogs site Edublogs and one on Blogger. I wanted to see how they compare for ease of posting, style, ease of linking etc. Originally I thought I’d have to find a blog that would make it through the LEA Smartfilter (that’s a whole other conversation!). However as the blog is aimed mostly at teachers and support staff I decided this wasn’t such a big issue. This is partly because we now have a computer in the staffroom that isn’t filtered so no blocked sites. Anyway, when I checked my plan for this week I realised I am doing exactly what I’d intended. I am taking my first actions in my research, adding a blog to the Classroom Displays Group. [...] [...] This week is down in my research plan for taking the first action phase of my research.

Although educators, learners and researchers have been using blogs constructively for over five years now, educational weblogs – edublogs – are currently being blocked at district level by school authorities. In effect, this means that despite the recognition by multiple governments of the value of e-learning (to individuals and economies), and despite an emerging body of research and numerous examples of great educational practice, weblogs – which provide a simple way for educators and students to create and participate in collaborative, conversational and distributed learning communities – are being excluded from the day-to-day business of education.

Especially Linda's post about a UK education authority's stance. I now work in adult and community learning but originally trained as a primary school teacher and my view is the quicker digital/online literacies become part of the curriculum the better. Look forward to following progress on the new site and helping in whatever way I can - will start by checking my own LEA's position on this in primary and secondary. I'm hoping they will be taking a more enlightened line as they held a major conference earlier in the year for school heads/governors at which Alan November gave the keynote which included examples of the use of blogs in schools! Belatedly - thanks James for edublogs! I have only just caught up with this conversation but it makes scary reading. Especially Linda’s post about a UK education authority’s stance.

More and more kids ARE going to be coming to school with internet-ready devices (I just discovered that my son's PSP has WiFi!), and as I see it, there are only two workable options: a metal detector at the school entrance, or education on digital ettiquette. These kids who are trying to get on the school network with their PSP's are going to be grown-up users some day, and I truly believe that ditigal literacy needs to be included with online literacy. Yesterday I was at a local gift shop and there must have been 4 or 5 different kinds of cell phone cases in the Hello Kitty display. Are 5-10 year olds carrying cell phones now? What about the new Firefly? What does a young person learn from being told their cell phone/pda/ipod has to say in their locker? Great comments, Judy!
