Drama students are finding Penzu useful and easy to use. They can log on at school and home, type in their journal entry and email it in.
This post reminds me that a few people need to be checked on but for the most part the system is working well.
Lazy already. I know. Life just gets in the way.
I have now realised my year 10’s can not summarise. I assumed and am therefore an Ass on this occasions.
Going to do a series of lessons on summarising, including getting them to translate a paragraph into text speak 
A bit of fun. Then we will mess around with Words Auto summarise tool. Then do a word limit summary activity on key points etc.
The basics are an issue across the board. Capitals, Full stops, Spelling. Is this because of technology? Is this because we have gotten lazy in insisting on the basics.
I am going to start blogging with year 10’s as well but the choice of where is difficult. My NING is built as it is a base for all classes so perhaps I should start the year 10’s a separate one. Or should I go the edublogs route?? I do not know, there is just so much to choose from.
