Blogging

I am fairly new to blogging,  but through research I can really see the advantages blogs can bring to a classroom and how students can use them to be successful in the classroom.  The aspect of blogging that I like the most is the collaboration that is incorporated in them.  I like the idea of having people comment on a post and putting their own ideas into a post.   I think through time and experience blogs are something I could use in my own classroom. 

EDUC 573 Class Blog

I have really enjoyed EDUC 573, been a great learning experience for me.   I have found several ways that I can incorporate different types of technology into my own classroom whether it be through blogs, podcast, or screencast.   I feel that bringing these different types of technology into my classroom will be really beneficial to the students and help them become more successful in the class.  Before this class I had very little knowledge of all the types of technology I could be using, but now I feel I have a great enough understanding to bring these into my classroom and use them successfully..

Exciting times to be a student

When I was in school we didn't have the amazing technology we have at our fingertips today.  I imagine how exciting it would be to be a student today.  It takes more to engage the student today and this class has taught me many ways to do that. It's time to get creative in the classroom.

Great Class

I have learned so many new and exciting things in this class.  I felt like I had a great understanding of technology and utilized it well.  However with this class I'm excited about all of the things out there.  My mind is thinking about all the exciting stuff I can do with this.  I'm not a teacher but volunteer for different organizations and I have thought of many things I can utilize to help.  #excitedabouttechnology

GLAD TO BE HERE, BLOGGING

Wow, this was fairly easy after I worked everything out. Technology can be a pain at times, but when it all comes together it can be so much more creative paper and pencil. I am very nervous about this class, something about an on-line technology class has been difficult for me. I just hope to survive until last of June, wishing everyone well also.

Practice blog

I was wanting to make sure I knew how to join in on the blog so I am doing a practice run here.  Technology can be very overwheliming at first, but hopefully as I learn I will become more at ease with the assignments.  I am just always afraid of messing up when in reality I should be thinking when at first you don't succeed, try again!

New at blogging

Well here I am trying out the blogging. This is new to me and I'm very curious to see what all I can do with it. Technology has always fascinated me but at the same time frightened me because I didn't grow up in a world of technology. I am excited at the possibilities for my classroom and my personal life with web blogs, podcasts, etc. I have not created the most eye appealing profile but as I said earlier it is new to me. I enjoy reading the other comments on here about blogging. It seems as though I'm not the only one that is a "newbie" to this and that gives me some comfort. Technology is a powerful resource and I'm hoping this class will help me to jump into it and not be so afraid.
