Everything you need to know about blogs and the school blog

Ok - so we all find it hard keeping up with the technology (adults I mean!) so if you're not quite sure about The Blog! then read on and get informed.

What's a blog?

A blog (weB LOG) is a website that provides a stream of articles (posts) from one or more contributors - in our case the staff and pupils. These can be any or a combination of the following, text, photos, video and audio content.

So in a nutshell - if you check out our blog you should find lots of up to date content about what's been happening in and involving the school - produced by the school for pupils and parents.

  • What is a Blog? - Blogger.com (Google blogging service which hosts our blog)
  • Blog - Wikipedia

What's the point?

A website tends to stay the same every time you visit it, whereas a blog is arranged in a most recent first format and will provide you with a constant stream of news from and about the school. It also gives us a chance to allow the pupils to directly publish their work to the internet and will become a great resource in time.

How can I see it?

All you need to do is click on over to the blog at http://brierleyschool.blogspot.com/ you don't need to sign up just have a good browse through the archived pages which you'll find down the right hand side of the main page.

Comments?

Anyone can leave a comment against one of the articles on the blog which if you've enjoyed what you've seen or it's inspired you into doing something - it would be great if you could leave a positive comment against it, the children will be very pleased to know people are enjoying their hard work as your comments will be able to be read by the children and future blog visitors, however you will have to be patient if you leave a comment as due to the nature of this project and children involved every comment will be vetted by school staff before it is approved for use on the blog - this is in everyone's best interest.

How to comment

If you do want to leave a comment you still don't need to sign up for anything, simply find the comment link at the bottom of the relevant article, click that and fill in the comment form before submitting - it couldn't be simpler and the children really will enjoy hearing your thoughts. Happy blogging!
