A Time for Reflection 1

I think that classroom blogging will be beneficial in the following ways:
 1. Allow classroom discussion to continue after "the bell".
 2. A forum for posting reminders and assignments.
 3. Provide all students with a place to have their "voice" heard (not just the outspoken ones).

One way that I may use blogging in my classroom is to: assign readings on a topic and have the students react to the material on a blog.

Assignment 2 - Posting on a Blog


I'm writing my 1st posting for my blog. So I'm experimenting with fonts, formatting &
"kicking the tires" a little bit. Trebuchet is my favorite font for the following reasons:
  1. It looks good
  2. It's easy to read
  3. I can scan it quicker than the others.
I wonder if people responding to the blog will come through with a font of their choice or will it be a fixed setting?

Welcome to my blog :)

I am using this blog for the online class - Issues, trends and tools in education and technology. This week our assignment is to create our own blog. Pretty cool stuff!
