• The writing's on the wall for paper and pencil Guardian Newspaper "Blogging has been brought into the classroom at St Ives school in Haslemere, Surrey. Each student in year 6 has their own blog in a secure, walled setting using Elgg software. Deputy head and information systems manager Miles Berry explains: 'We wanted students to learn how to express their views, and it's been a success. We also wanted them to develop an acceptance of other's contributions, to appreciate others' perspectives. They are learning and being inspired by each other's writing in a far more immediate way than if we just stuck their work on the wall.'"
