Edge Hill University seem to have a small number of bloggers. From the way that they’re writing, I’m guessing that they’re Student Union Reps, trying to give an idea of what University is like for freshers. They seem to have a good mix of “work” and social related posts. Still trying to get blogging really…
Mobile Learning ยป Workshop Activity: Paper Blogs Neat idea! I hope to use it in a workshop that I’m hoping to run later in the year….
