Before this semester I had never even thought about doing a blog before. I am not really the type of person to share my thoughts and opinions online where everyone can ready them. Through out this process I have learned that blogging is a great place to communicate with others, and also learn about others as well. It is a really great source of communication if that is something that you are interested in doing. I did however learn a lot about how blogs could be used in the teaching field. I learned that blogs can be very helpful in posting assignments or directions to a project. They can also be helpful in communicating with other professionals and learning different strategies to use in a classroom. Kids could also use blogs to ask questions and have comments made back from other students. There are many things that can be used with blogs, if you take the time to keep up with them. I have learned some through other bloggers and were able to get a better understanding of how other people in my profession or entering my profession feel. I was able to get great suggestions of things to try in a classroom and also learned that i wasnt the only one that gets nervous about intertwining technology into the classroom. I honestly probably wont keep my blog going after this class, but i did feel like it was good for me to get a feel of this approach so that i will become more comfortable with blogs if i choose to use them in my classroom. Advise for new bloggers would be to really try and get more involved. There are tons of people that you can follow and get great suggestions for. Try to keep up with your blog as much as possible, and also ask question. People might reply with a great suggestion.
