Reflecting on the Blog..

Throughout my first year in the Benedum program I have posted to my blog about five times. While writing each blog post, I put forth my best effort and a great deal of thought about the prompt questions. Today's questions asked me to look back and reflect on my very first blog post. In that post I discussed how I thought this blog would be a great way to share and document experiences with others and read about theirs, as well. Unfortunately, I have not yet found the blog to be a great source of sharing stories with other tutors in the program. The only person that I really share with is my blogging partner, Lindsey. I think it would be beneficial to take time to follow other tutors' blogs and read about their experiences. Hopefully I will change my mind as we spend more and more time in the classroom and gain experience.

One the bright side, I do think that this blog has been beneficial in helping me document my progress in the program. This blog will be a great reflection tool for me later in the program if I am asked to look back on my overall experience.

The blog has This has also been a great way for me to communicate with my blogging partner. I have also noticed that Michelle reads my posts so I think it is an awesome way for her to keep up with me, along with the rest of her students.

Lindsey: Have you had any success in communicating with your PDS coordinator or anyone else from your school?
