Welcome to Claytonia!

                                       
Claytonia is our space for sharing learning and teaching strategies at Clayton Hall Business and Language College. This blog will allow us to enhance our connections in the three following areas:
  1. between colleagues in order to share and collaborate
  2. between teachers and pupils, in order to celebrate success and to share learning resources
  3. between home and school in order to involve parents in their children's learning at Clayton Hall Business and Language College



What's in a name?

After some considerable thought the name, 'Claytonia' was selected by members of the English department at Clayton to promote the idea of a creative learning community. Of course English teachers at Clayton, also love their fantasy fiction and sci-fi! 


Blogging is the way forward!

Lots of schools are beginning to use blogs in many different and exciting ways. The best way to find out how blogging can be useful, is to spend some time exploring other blogs on the web. Follow this link to my Pinterest board to discover more amazing educational blogs...

Please do leave your comments below. Can you think of any other ways that we could use blogging for teaching and learning?

  2. I love this, it's a great way to share stuff quickly and bring all our staff up to date with new technology. Also, I can't wait to see the kids getting involved in this and seeing teachers and students working together to promote effective learning!

  3. It can be used for English and i.t to improve typing speed and grammer and writing about things using a smart choice of words.
