For the uninitiated, #blimage (blog-image) is a game we started to encourage learning professionals to blog. You are sent an image which you then have to write about, metaphorically or literally. At the end of your blog post you then challenge some of your friends with another image, of your own choice. Have a go.

In retrospect we know that many teachers had little time to learn how to use these new technologies effectively, so merely used them to write on and to display their slides, as though they were traditional chalk boards or projection screens. One example is when classrooms began to be equipped with interactive whiteboards (IWBs).

Mindful of these theories, I have recently been working alongside students to encourage them to write for an audience. Normally, in higher education, students write for an audience of one. They write essays, projects and dissertations that will be read only by their tutor or marker. Nothing new in that, you may think.
