Blogging

Blogging is going really well so far! It's really easy to access this blog and other's blogs to view what the class has to say over similar topics. I love that there is a teacher's blog with the entire class listed where you can click on their name which assists you right to their page. I really enjoy the fact that you offer a prompt to follow in case we don't have any ideas what to write about. But, I also think it's important to let us free write about something that might have moved us in class or in a reading assigned to us. I believe it's important to leave that option open in case there is something other than the prompt we wish to discuss. I believe it would be really frustrating or limiting if we didn't have that opportunity. In the future, I could imagine my use of writing in blogs being helpful to summarize what happened during each day of my student teaching. I think that seeing from the very beginning how much I've learned in the classroom would be completely beneficial. Also, looking at the positives and negatives over different lessons I give would be really important to look back over and see how far I've come as a teacher.

I am glad you are seeing the use in blogs and are already picturing how to use them in the future. I hope we can make them more interactive in 448 and we will see how that helps in our learning over the semester.
