Tech Skill 3: Blog Basics
Violet Piskur
- B. In your own words, what is a Blog? A Blog is a website created by a person or group to share their opinions, photos, or personal experiences.
- C. Why/How is blogging a tool that may be useful for you as a future teacher? Blogging will be useful as a future teacher due to the fact that it is a way to communicate assignments, due dates, contact information, and notes from lessons. Students can use the Blog as a reference while working from home and parents can stay up to date without worrying that their child forgot to bring something home.
- D. Locate and list two examples of educational blogs that are created by teachers, schools or educational organizations for teachers, students or parents. What is the purpose of each, and why did you choose these? TeachThought (https://www.teachthought.com/) is a blog centered around the topic of helping teachers adapt to the ever changing world and how they can make the change in their classroom through professional development posts. I chose this blog because it seemed to have a great amount of information that will be useful to teach 21st century learners. Free Technology for Techers (https://www.freetech4teachers.com) was created by Richard Byrne. He posts about different way teachers can incorporate technology in the classroom. This blog will be useful due to the years of posts that go into detail on how educators can use technology and tells what works and what did not work in his classroom.
Hey Violet! The first blog that you mentioned sounds super cool. It's super important for teachers to be up to date with what may be going on in the lives of their students. This source can be very useful to teachers by helping them to understand the world and the people that they're teaching!
