What I've found through some exploration of the blogging world, away from my usual scene and suspects is an underlying potential to educate through a median used by students. This engaging slice of technology, offers itself to anyone who dares to take a chance and progress with the ever enhancing pace of modern society.
The opportunity to manipulate this resource is inconceivable. Posting assessments, reflections on class topics, publications of students' work, are some ways I've seen that blogger can be used as a learning/teaching device. All this and you are able to see the date and time posts are made, it would seem an encouragement to present your work on time.
Now I'm apprehensive, I thought I was escaping my professional persona with my extra curricular sliding posts, but I've only been feeding the beast...i need to cool off

ReplyDeleteI echo Meyerball! I don't how it's been in your classes, but I've been blitzing my kids with some of the "wow" material from this course. All good stuff.
