The project is complete!

The World Cup is over, and with it, the Blogtheworldcup project draws to a close. The site will remain accessible for the foreseeable, so you’ll be able to round off any work that is still ongoing.

I’d really appreciate it if you took a little time to write a blogpost about your school’s experience of the project. I’m writing an article for an educational mag about it and I’d like to quote as many of you as I possibly could; without your input, the project would not have been the great success it has.

Questions I’m particularly interested in are:

  1. How easy did the children find the site to use?
  2. How much enjoyment/motivation did the children get from the social aspects of the site?
  3. Do you think the social aspects of the site taught anything about the safe use of social networking sites such as Facebook?
  4. Did you have to spend much time teaching children about the mechanics of the site?
  5. How could you make the site more collaborative?

I’d also love some quotes and feedback from children that used the site.

Thanks again for taking part in what has been a fantastic showcase for educational blogging. Blogtheolympics.net has been purchased, so watch this space!
