First Class Tues May 17, 2010

I'm excited about this class.  I experienced the power that careful use of technology can have in engaging students - even the sleepy ones during my recent student teaching experience.  I've also got to say - the ease with which I created this blog really took me by surprise - I thought much more would be involved.  So now I'm wondering how I might be able to use blogging in my next classroom.  The fact that students can customize blogs to what at first glance seems like a fairly high degree I believe will create a good motivation for students to want to get involved with this.  Maybe each student could have their own blog as well as there being a moderated teacher's blog?? I would like to explore this idea more.
