Blog+Screen+Shots

Blog Screen Shots Reflection:

This artifact displays screen shots of my classroom blog. I use the blog to facilitate discussion and communication among students. Blogging not only allows other students to learn from each other and view others’ opinions of a subject, but it allows me to monitor and comment on their posts as well. In general, the students like to blog. Most of them have not blogged before, and appreciate the opportunity to communicate in a non-traditional way in school. Blogging gives everyone a chance to comment; even the quiet students participate in this discussion format.

I learned that students often have insightful things to say, and they all have rich and different experiences to bring to the table. I realized that most of them appreciate unique opportunities to communicate in the classroom.

I intend on using the blog more frequently in the future with different units. I would like to use them to introduce concepts, or recap concepts.
