So in conclusion We integrate ICT across the curriculum through the useof the blog. A blog is a consistent way to link all thework students do on the computer and enables otherpeople to view it. Its not often that the teacher has to spend timepublishing the childrens work because they frequentlydo it instantly themselves. By the end of the year there isnt a folder filled withwork with no where for it to go its already been usedand is safe for the future. 15. NOW..
