Hello and Welcome to our Community Blog for EDU537sp2014!As you will learn in this course there are quite a variety of Blog applications available out there for use, but as one of the goals of this course is to explore the fee Google tools that we have available to us as educators, Blogger is what was used for here and is what we will be using throughout the course.
I will give you access to this environment so that you can add posts, create a page for the Technology Tool that you will be responsible for presenting, as well as play with some of the other design features such as adding gadgets to personalize this environment and make it more reflective of the group.
Looking forward to getting started!

Greetings class,
ReplyDeleteMr T here. I have never blogged in my life. I am interested in learning how to manage blogs so that I can provide online study group blogs (and similarly directed blogging) for students in the future.
Hello! I have blogged a little bit but was not very faithful and it was a very simple, basic blog. I am really excited about learning to start my own blog where I can include my own lesson ideas and things I will use in my classroom. Also, depending on the grade I teach, will want to have a class blog were we can connect with other schools and have some awesome conversations going!
ReplyDeleteHello! It's Elizabeth. I blogged while I lived in the Dominican Republic...pretty simple. I am VERY excited to discover more about blogs (and get teaching ideas!). I'd love to learn formatting with blogs in particular.
ReplyDeleteHey, hey--
ReplyDeleteSoy yo, Jenny!
I have never blogged. I do appreciate a good blog, however. An exceptional blog--one that will keep my attention--is one that is clever--in words and in visuals--, easy to navigate, and not like all the others. I would love to create a blog with all of those characteristics which revolves around education.
Future homework for you: look for me and my exceptional BLOG!
Con carino,
Jenny
Hello everyone,
ReplyDeleteI have not blogged before ... I am very new to this experience.
I am interested in learning about how to create a Blog that would be user friendly for a Kindergarten class (parents, students and other teachers).
Hello Mr T. I too lack the experience in blogging, however feel this specific interface is similar with other technologies. I too hope to incorporate some sort of learning experience through this blog, like...
ReplyDeleteSpecific steps in math problem
Lecture notes
Feedback from students
All in all, I feel this could be a fantastic platform for assisting the learning process of our students, and monitoring feedback as well! Lets work as a team to make this happen! :)
