Educational Blogs

http://plmc.edublogs.org/

The Pashley School Library blog is a great way for students, staff and the wider school community to keep up to date with what is happening in the school. It is a primary school and I feel the choice of font and design scheme is reflective of a younger audience. The bolg also serves the school well as an informal 'newsletter' allowing teachers to praise posted work publically ie. the Mini Movies.

This particular blog is important to me as it was the school I went to and would have LOVED the librarian blog while I was in years 7-12. Although it is a rather basic blog it is a great way for Ms. Ropchan to communicate with the students about the existing and new resources avaliable in the library without relying on them to visit the library. I would find this useful for K-6 as well.
