Open Mind...

I continue to keep an open mind on blogging. I am constantly applying this newly acquired information to my kindergarten class and I must admit I struggle to see how blogging can be used effectively in the classroom (at least for these young students). According to Richardson I need some links in my blogs to be "official". That seems too formal. Perhaps as the year advances, my class (as a whole) may create a blog on a unit of study (perhaps one of my up and coming practicum units!!). Stayed tuned!!

"Worth It" Factor

It's been fun viewing the other blogs in our cohort. I am amazed how time goes by so quickly when you are reading and posting blogs.

However, as a kindergarten teacher I wonder if this activity would meet the "worth it" factor Judi Harris spoke of? I often ask myself this question when integrating new ideas into the classroom. The ideas can be wonderful, but if they take too much time away from an already busy schedule is it truly worth doing the activity?

Kindergarten could certainly do a group blog, but it may require more work/time than I have to give. Perhaps blogging later in the school year would be more effective. Any thoughts?

First Blog - EVER

This is my first blog ever. Not sure where this is headed; not sure this would be something I am interested in keeping up. Time will tell.....
