Sara Wadi- Social Media in k-12

B.  In your own words, what is a Blog?

In my own words a blog is what you fell passionate about and you feel the need to express things in your own words. 

C.  Why/How is blogging a tool that may be useful for you as a future teacher?

It can become useful for a teacher because you can talk about topics that can help parents with different sorts of things that can go as far as saving money or helping how to pack a lunch for a picky eater.

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?

https://www.teachjunkie.com/about/ this helps with lesson planning and crafts with grades k-5 and fun games and topics you can talk and teach about. I chose these because it was nicely organized and had a lot of options to look at and many things to chose from.

http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/  It is a blog focusing on education and politics. Current posts center around the campaign trail leading up to the US election in November, and how it relates to education policy. I chose this because it is important to know what can happen with our education in the world of elections and if things change.
