After some of my students were filmed today making a YouTube vidblog talking about their podcasts, I was about to email them the link and then thought that it would be far easier for them to watch it thro my general teaching tumblelog. If we can encourage those teachers who I’ve worked with on tumblr to start posting resources they use in class on their tumblelogs then students will have a readily accessible bank of resources to dip into at any time. In theory that is what the EHWLC Learning Portal hopes to replicate but the steps to do so are still rather time consuming – tumblr, I think, is ideal for this kind of application.

Email seems so inefficient – at least you were going to email a lnk, many would email the resource.
Getting the students used to accessing a resource page like your tumblr is good education for them.
I’m finding that email is best used fr what it was originally intended – private comunications and for drawing attention to stuff – it’s not good for discussions or distributing media and resources.
