Using blogs

I am extremely new to all this blogging stuff and don't know how people can do this all the time. I mean in between balancing families with full time careers, with graduate school, with whatever life throws at you, how can one find time. In a study group a few weeks ago I asked my colleagues what they think will happen when the first generation of "digital natives" have to balance the issues I mentioned above. Did they think they will keep up their blogs? They thought people would but the other past times such as reading books will be replaced or be not as popular. I just don't know how I feel about that....yet.

How I can apply what I am learning.

After a long week with working with everything that I learned about, I see many ways that I can use technology in the classroom. I love the concept of google docs (I have been telling everyone about it) and think that students could do a collaborative presentation on a subject. Considering I am teaching P.E. next year, students could pick a sport that interests them. I also see having a classroom blog for parents and students to see what we are working on and pictures of what we are doing.

Last Day

Well, today was the last day of school!!! We had an all school picnic and the storms held of until we were done. Everyone had a nice time. We did have a tornado warning right before the school day ended, so the kids had to stay a few extra minutes in the basement. Thank goodness nothing happened, but I think I might start building an ark soon.

My first blog

Tonight's class has been exciting!!! I am learning a lot of new things, some are a little overwhelming. I am looking forward to seeing what else I can learn.
