**Training video** If you want to get blogging with your students then you will find these two sets of videos really useful. This is with the new Blogger interface. Blogger is not difficult to use and the two sets of videos I have produced go right through all the key elements. You can create blogs for your students to use or you can get your students to create blogs too. Here are the introductory videos-They are enough to get you started Time to get blogging Time to get blogging2

__Wallwisher__ This is one of the most popular tools that I present when I do training and workshops. It allows you to create a simple "virtual wall" and you can then share the address with your students and they can go on-line and add their ideas and thoughts and ideas to the wall. They can even add links to articles, pictures and videos. It is great for brainstorming and great for group work and projects. What is more important, it is easy to use. @http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/wall/index.html

__How to use WordPress__ WordPress is another blogging tool but more sophisticated and it can also be used for making Websites. It has become one of the most popular blog/website tools on the internet. This is an introductory set of videos on how to use WordPress and it will get you up and running. I will be adding more videos in the future. @http://www.teachertrainingvideos.com/wordPress/index.html

__Getting started on Twitter__ If you don't use Twitter and you want to get started or if you do use Twitter but need to build up your followers and understand how the tool works then I think you will find these videos really useful. I show you how to set up an account, build up your following and make use of all the amazing resuorces that you can find on Twitter. These videos have been recently updated.
