Other why's and how's of using Blogs and e-learning tools

Through the use of blogs and other digital tools I would hope to fully engage all students by incorporating strong, safe ICTs across the KLAs in a collaborative and ethical manner.  I would allow for differentiation in e-learning.  I need to be aware that even if I use a particular digital tool that I may have differentiation within the students.  Children who do not have good numeracy and literature skills should not be held back.  I would make sure the workload and the level of teacher support was appropriate and use varied styles of learning including individual, group and whole class work. 

Learners need to know through efficient feedback which direction they are heading and what is the desired learning outcome.  Different undertakings would be developed and designed to work through the full range of Bloom's Taxonomy including higher order thinking and utilising realistic life orientated tasks to make meaning.  This would all be aided through the use of appropriate online tools, such as Glogs, concept mapping tools, digital images and Blogs and thinking routines such as PMIs, SWOT’s and de Bono's hats.  I believe that the better students are at higher order thinking skills such as these, then the better they are at completing examinations like Naplan etc.
