Please comment below on the following questions:

What do you already know about blogging and how teachers are using it in their classrooms or in their personal lives?

What questions do you have about blogging?
(I want to prepare BEFORE class!)

  1. I have two personal blogs. I love them and find that they are almost "therapeutic" to me... I am excited to learn more about blogs because all that I know is what I have taught myself through trial and error! :-)

  8. I learned that some people are using them in their classrooms to communicate with parents. If our parents don't have a blog account we can't contact them, right?

  9. I am excited about all my learning today. If I have time (and hopefully I can make time), I think it would be great to use for my family. It seems like blogging would be super fun and therapeutic once I really get started!

  10. I only know what I was taught today in the workshop. I was able to create a blog on blogspot.com. I also wrote a brief message about my day.

    I have learned to follow others and intrude on their personal lives - wait, they can intrude on mine too...hmm!

  16. I knew nothing of blogging before today other than the word being a neologism! I can certainly see how this can be used for good in the classroom and am excited to see how the students respond.
