About vlogging….

Only one student volunteered…..

Less technological skill than blogging.

Focus on content rather than writing.

More motivated to do project.

Brought out creativity.

“I was able to comment on my colleagues blogs and this has inspired me to comment on other peoples blogs on the internet”

Next steps….•Develop preceding activities• Evaluate choice of tool. • Look further at existing projects and research. • Carry out next cycle of action research with next cohort.
