Hello! Since this is my first blog, my only knowledge on blogging is what I have seen or read from friends and family that have had them. I think blogging is an excellent way to keep track of thoughts and new experiences. Blogging will come in handy as I go through the Benedum Collaborative since I can document my personal progress, thoughts on assignments, and more. Later on, I can look back and reflect on the program and my experiences.
As I begin my career as a teacher, blogging will be a great way to document lesson plans and the positive and negative aspects about them. This will be a good tool to reflect on so I can see what did or did not work with the lesson and make the necessary changes. Along with lessons, I can blog about how I handle certain situations, like negative behavior or bullying. I think it would be beneficial to get the other teachers to blog, as well. This way we can read each others posts for tips. Leaving comments of encouragement would be a great way to give fellow teachers reassurance on their lessons and teaching strategies.
I think this blog is the start of something good in my educational career. Like I mentioned before, this blog will come in handy in many situations all through my teaching career. Ciao!
I think documenting lesson plans on blogs is a wonderful idea. Parents can look on your blog and see what their children are learning in the classroom. It would also be good for other teachers that might need an idea for a lesson themselves. I agree that blogging will come in handy throughout our teaching career!
