The fourth #blogsync gathered some very diverse and topical responses on the topic of progress. Powered entirely by the word-of-mouth serendipity of twitter, educational bloggers from many parts of the sector collaborated on sharing their experience of measuring progress in the classroom.
To follow is the archive of the blogs and twitter links to their writers.
