Welcome and Introduction


There is a lot of discussion lately about the role of social software tools in education. To that end this blog has been set up for TAN staff to share ideas about education, blogging, and generally explore how a blog works. Give it a go! Please contact Michael Coghlan at michaelc@chariot.net.au if you need any assistance using this blog.

To contribute to this blog you can either
  1. use the comments feature below, or
  2. log in via the Sign In button in the top right corner and submit your own entry.
Login details for this blog are

username: tanstaff08@gmail.com
password: education

Once you have logged in click on New Post and follow your nose. (It would be a good idea to sign your name to any posts otherwise you will show up as 'TANstaff'. Of course you are also free to remain anonymous. Might be more interesting that way :)

To read something about how others in VET have used blogs in their teaching practice have a look at this short article.

Michael, I use http://stomas.ning.com/ to encourage my students to upload images, video and text, and http://cafechat.wordpress to journal my own discoveries along the way.
