The Next Instalment: Quadblogging

Within the framework of our project, we set out to explore how we can broaden the audience of our blog through Quadblogging. One of the purposes of blogging is to provide students with an audience beyond the realm of their classroom. It is a way of creating and promoting an interest in children's writing.



 
Quadblogging from Kate Todd


Quadblogging was started by David Mitchell, who is deputy headteacher at Heathfield Primary School in Bolton, UK. It was started as a way of addressing the need for a blog to have an audience

Quadblogging is a way of sharing what is happening in the classroom with three other schools. Each class' blog takes a turn at having the focus upon them. The other classes comment on the focus class' blog. It is authentic feedback from other students, who are from other parts of the world.

There are many ideas that can be obtained and shared through Quadblogging. How work is presented, how writing can be improved, how thoughts can be expressed, are all part of the quadblogging experience. The comments left by other students have been proven to improve children's writing, as they receive feedback.
