We have read this before!

After reading the first three chapters of Will Richardson's book, I feel it is the same message in a different book. He wrote "students are "out there" using a wide variety of technologies that they are told they can't use when they come to school." He points out that the Web has the potential to radically change what we assume about teaching and learning. So true, how will we spread the word to our fellow teachers??? This is another tool we can offer our learners. Now to figure out a good way to implement it.

Very Interesting

That is a good idea Jen. I'm wondering how parents would react to the idea. I would have to give it some thought.

Realization

Ok, so I just realized that blogging is basically the same thing as having a facebook account. Again it is sad that I am always one step behind. Before using this in my classroom I would have to really weigh the benefits versus the learning curve for first graders. It may be a more useful tool in communicating with parents. I would have to give it some thought.

My first try at blogging..who would have ever guessed. Well, I just learned that BLOG is the abbreviation for WEB LOG. Is it sad that I didn't even know that? I just hope by learning to use a blog I will see the potential of this tool for teaching and learning in my classroom. Only time will tell. So, let the fun begin......:)
