SUCCESS! Well at least that's what I'm saying to myself. After not being able to create a gadget for my igoogle page and working myself to a frenzy due to frustration, I now feel like a normal human being again. I completed module 2 almost 2 months ago, however I did not post a blog straight away.
Creating a blog is actually quite simple and straight foward. I have also managed to help other teachers from my school create their blog long after I created my own. Blog use in the classroom can be lots of fun and very enticing to our students. In the older grades, students could make their own blogs to demonstate their understandings of particular topics or subjects. In the younger classes, teachers could make blogs on particular points of interest which the younger children can look up at school or home.
A blog can be as simple or intricate as you intend it to be. There are no rules (which is exactly what we like) and if you make a mistake, you can always delete or even start again. Blogs are a great way to experience and interact electronically with people and to keep the intended audience informed. If there were more hours in the day, I could certainly spend a few of them creating blogs. =)
