This is my first blog, the inaugural entry. I have enjoyed reading blogs in the past, but this week I'm diving in, responding to blogs for the first time and now writing my own. This has been an eventful technology week for me. I am working to integrate new information and put it into practice on a personal level - like the blogging and subscribing to favorite blogs through an RSS feed, I had no idea I could do this and have been checking several blogs on a regular basis separately. It is amazing to me that now the updated blogs come to me.
On a professional level, I now have this new knowledge about Wikis, blogs and podcasts and I am in the idea stage of how to integrate these into my classroom. On top of this, I have expanded the blogs I am reading and have these new resources to use with my students. I look forward to sharing ideas with others and making some of the ideas realities in my classroom.
Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteI am enjoying following your blogging process! I think it would be great for you to implement blogs in your gifted program in order to allow students to share information about the centers they are using. This would allow students from the different schools you service to work together without never necessarily even meeting one another. I think you will also see that wikis will be a great method for collaboration among your students as well. Enjoy the process!
