Tonight we are creating blogs. I have actually had a blog for over four years, so I am a very accomplished blogger!! My homesite is http://www.dailydiatribes.com/. I use my blog as an outlet for my thoughts. I also maintain a blog for the Girl Scouts in my area. I use it to disseminate information, share pictures, and share thoughts about girl scouting.
As a prospective English teacher, I can see myself using a blog as a tool for my students. It's a great place for reflection and also for interaction. Personally, I have grown so accustomed to using technology, that I have a hard time thinking with pen and paper. I am most comfortable when I am typing on a keyboard, and I suspect my students will probably feel the same way.
I am looking forward to using this blog to reflect upon my experiences in the EDT course. For example, we just completed our Powerpoint presentation and I learned so much about creating Powerpoints!! I am never going to be intimidated by the process again, because I feel very confident about the process. The only thing I wish I could have figured out was how to embed a video clip. I managed to do it in class, but when I got home, I was not successful.
As the semester progresses, I am looking forward to becoming even more familiar with technology!!
