This will be my final blog post, at least for now. This is the first blog that I have done. I found it similar to a free-write. A place to connect to our readings, experiences and discussions, freely connect and see where these thoughts might take us. Searching for videos to add actually helped me to make stronger connections, finding interpretations of others gave me a chance to look at things differently. The blog is an area to go beyond answering discussion questions, it is a place to reflect on what you have learned and put down your own questions. It is a great place to throw out your own ideas and build on them, having people comment or challenge your thoughts. This is a great piece of technology to use in the classroom as some students might feel more comfortable expressing themselves in writing. It is a place where you are not right or wrong, it is your own thoughts, an online journal. This has been an opportunity for me to reflect on why I want to be a teacher and what I hope to achieve in the classroom.
