I think as i'm getting more aquainted to this whole blogging thing, I'm starting to warm up to it. I've been browsing through other people's blogs and seeing how this could be a very useful tool in the whole teaching/learning process. Blogging is a great way for teachers to share resources. Especially now looking at some of my other colleague's blogs and how much more familiar they are with technology than I am, I'm realizing that I there will be a lot of useful resources at my fingertips. It will be really nice for teachers to blog about lessons and ideas and to recieve feedback from other teachers. This could break down a lot of walls between teachers when it comes to sharing information, thoughts, resources, or ideas. I think it's great, and I'm now pretty excited about it!
I'm scared of being a "lurker"...for some reason that word has a very scary conotation to me. I'm going to have to make a conscious effort to contribute to other people's blogs. I guess I'll start now :)
I'm glad that you are seeing how networking with other teachers can help everyone benefit, especially students.
ReplyDeleteI also understand your comment about "lurking." I'm guilty of that too! I often read what some of the others post before I take that leap and post my own comments! Just keep reading & exploring! Good Luck!
Hi Lindsey... I agree that there are so many possibilities for teachers sharing information. I can see how exciting it could be for students to respond to teacher's and other student's blogs. Keep up the great work... we will get there.
ReplyDeleteHi,Lindsay.. When you are working in Lifeskills this year, you will find many ways to get information and to learn through the web and other technologies. I too am glad that I am learning so much more about all the possiblities because I know I am a lurker so I need to change.
