I have an outstanding lead teacher who is well-versed in the education blogging world. A voracious writer and educational reader, she can be found on her increasingly popular blog Ed-U-Like (edulike.blogspot.co.uk).
The power and role of blogs and social media is certainly a topical debate in education. A while ago, I received an excited email entitled “The power of Twitter”, which came after a meeting took place between Ofsted and five articulate bloggers.
The purpose of this meeting, as has already been reported in SecEd, was to discuss the inspectorate’s position when it comes to lesson observations and the grading of lessons. The email stated that at the meeting Ofsted has confirmed that the grading of individual lessons is not allowed and is not an Ofsted requirement (and in fact never was).
