Classroom Blogs

Greetings fellow tech campers!  Other than blogging with my students using Kidblog, this was my first experience creating a blog knowing that I will be using it professionally for the general public to possibly view.

Knowing that I intend to continue to blog and create a digital portfolio while on this journey, I wrote my first blog with my Edmonds.wednet.edu account as an introduction to the direction that I believe the blog could take. I am excited to continue to embrace technology and facilitate this learning in the classroom. The only challenge was a bit of a mental block, considering that the work that I put in to this is the property of Edmonds School District. I wondered if there was a way to do this work and have it within a personal account so that I am not at risk of the content changing or should I ever not teach within Edmonds, no longer being connected to the work I look forward to doing. I enjoyed creating a relevant post that can be a springboard for future thoughts. I think blogging can be an effective means to communicate from conversations with students to a tool for sharing learning with colleagues and families.
