Hello All and Welcome to my Blog. As I said in my introduction on Moodle, I am a high school computer teacher and use blogs in my classes. I love blogger, it's my choice of blog sites. It's easy to use and easier to navigate. For my Online Experience classes, we use a blog to post journals of the topic we are discussing that week. I post on the blog Monday and the students have until Friday to answer the specific questions that I give them. It could be about a website they have to look at or an online article to read. Either way, I find it to be more efficient than a pencil and paper. Plus, it gives me the opportunity to teach the students about blogs and how they are used. Check it out if you'd like:
I have also used blogs for personal reasons. Last year when I went on Maternity Leave from school, I created a blog for my students to follow about when I had the baby and I used it to post pictures and all that fun stuff.
I also belong to a blog that my close friends and I created to keep up with each other and post pictures of our families and fun pictures of when we all get together. Our latest post is called "The biggest Loser" and we are all in a race to lose weight and get in shape for spring!!
My goal this year is to have each of my students create a blog of their own. Hopefully we'll have enough time (snow days can be very disrupting!).
