I've been a reader, but never a poster!

When reading our classmates entries, I'm relieved to know that I'm not the only one that struggled to make my very first blog post! I joined the blog the first day of class, but had not been able to figure out how to actually post, so I hope I am doing this correctly. I read a blog of a lady from my hometown who is a mother to a handsome little boy with an extremely rare case of autism. She is also a beautiful photographer and the craftiest person I know, so her blog has interested me for several years! As a Kindergarten teacher, I do not see that my students would necessarily benefit from blogging. However, I think a class blog would be very beneficial for my parents! It would allow parents to communicate with me and others about their child's successes, struggles, or just general questions about the classroom. I am excited to create my own class blog and use it with the parents in my classroom this year! I have enjoyed this class thus far. Compared to other Summer courses I have taken, I am thrilled that it isn't overloading with redundant busy work, but many neat lessons and activities that I can see myself taking back to my classroom and school. My favorite assignment has been the Screencast assignment. I do use Powerpoint in my classroom often, but I did learn several new tips and tricks and fell in LOVE with the Jing software. Thanks for a beneficial course and all of your help, Dr. Rubin!
