I’m not sure everyone at The Play House was as enthusiastic about creating a blog as I was! I suspect though this has a lot to do with the fact I’m a bit of a geek and I’m always suggesting these sorts of things. To me the internet is a fantastic way for lots of people to interact in both formal and informal ways. That’s why I think this blog is a great opportunity. It gives everyone a chance to participate in our world, and meaningful participation is what The Play House is all about.
We started this process with our forays into YouTube and Facebook, and the creation of the teachers’ group – trying to engage teachers and supporters in new ways. We’re hoping this blog will be a bit of a window into The Play House, an interesting source of information, and a stimulus for discussion.
It’ll be about our projects sometimes, but it’ll also be about interesting news we’ve found, or dilemmas that we need to discuss, or things that people have suggested. It’s a way to meet our staff, our board, teachers we work with, and young people that have participated.
We’ll value everyone’s comments and suggestions, so everyone will be able to shape what it becomes. And if you’d like to contribute, please get in touch – we’d really like to hear from you.
