I have a blog for my year 12 English class, [|www.12ena.blogspot.com]. I put onto it notes I have given out in class, links to useful websites, helpful hints for essay writing, etc. This is an easy way for students who have been absent to pick up notes they have missed. Theoretically, the comments section is also a forum for discussion and debate about topics covered in class, although no-one has been brave enough to leave a comment yet :-) - Elizabeth Anderson, Hillcrest High School
