Blogging

A link to my [|classroom blog]. All of my intern students are required to set up a "blog" on blogger which is part of Google. I post a weekly "blogging" assignment on my blog and the students are required to respond to my blog each week. It is a great way to see improvement over time and to find out what makes my students tick. The students who took it serious showed serious improvement in their writing style. The best part of student blogs is I don't have to take papers home.

Here is a link to my Wilkes [|Blog] used during several of my grad classes. I have gotten more comfortable blogging as I have gone through the Wilkes courses. The first class that I had to write a blog I was very uncomfortable. At first it went against my nature to be as open and sharing as I have become with this graduate course experience. It has made me a much better teacher and communicator. A blog is a great way to create a timeline of learning.
