Hi Shelley and Linda.

As we have discussed in response to feedback from parents it would be constructive to meet informally with parents of students following your year 10 NCEA Level 1 programme to answer questions and develop a collaborative approach to the project ( us students and parents)

I have spent a great deal of time working on blogs over the last couple of years and although a good marketing tool doesn't elicit a great deal of involvement with students.

I think that the tutorials I have been working on will be more useful to them towards the end of the year.

The problem with the blog approach is that it has ownership issues. The person running the blog typically allows limited access to other users. For students this is another classroom situation with a teacher in charge. The same applies to teachers as well, just another system that you are forced to work with.
