Lesson 8- Reflection Social Bookmarking

I don't know how many times I have located a website that would be useful, saved it locally in "my favorites" then didn't have access to it because I was using a different computer. How frustrating! Using social bookmarking will help me to consolidate and organize the websites I use. In the future I would like to expand my use of delicious by networking with other teachers that teach the same curriculum area so information can be easily shared.

Classroom Blogging Reflections

I have mixed emotions in relation to classroom blogging. Most of my concerns are related to the amount of time required in previewing and posting student comments. With my own reservations aside, I do think that for some students publishing their comments, writing pieces, or notes to a blog can increase student motivation. I can see myself using Blogging in my own classroom for current events. Typically in my Global Studies class I require students to report weekly about a current event based on a given region. I could extend upon this assignment by linking a Blog to a chosen article and then have students leave comments related to the given current event.

My first blog

This is my first attempt at blogging. I am currently enrolled in an on-line tech course and this is my second assignment that I need to complete. So far so good!
