I believe that Weblogs can play an important role in my classroom! I realize that I need to decide on an area of focus (I have some thoughts) and that I need to model good blogging for my students once we have a Weblog up and running. For me, the biggest challenge will be getting into the habit of regular reflection and to stop being so self conscious about my thoughts!
I appreciated the reminder in this chapter which reads, "this is a learning tool and my not necessarily be the place where you want to air your complaints about the board of education, parents, or particular students. Public writing demands discretion, especially in an educational setting. And remember too that what you write stays with you. Each post contributes to your online portfolio, which may turn up in future Google searches." Words to live by for sure!
I also apprciated the section of this chapter which gives step by step directions on how to beging blogging with students in a classroom. The way it is recommended is to start small. This makes starting a Weblog manageable and not overwhelming!
