I think that building a personal learning network is a great idea. By creating this community, you can find other teachers to share your ideas and interests. I know that as a teacher, I learn so much from talking to others about their experiences. You can share what worked and what didn't so you can try new things in your classroom. This learning network will provide an avenue to discuss strategies with other teachers so your students can have the greatest opportunity to learn!
2. What point stood out to you from the commenting advice?
The point that stood out to me was the statistic of bloggers who choose not to comment. After reading this, I realized that I was one of those people! Several of my friends have blogs, and I read them, but I never comment. I guess I previously felt that it didn't matter what I had to say about it. Now I know that I am obviously not alone in that thought. So in the future, I should be grateful for anyone who does comment on my blog because very few people do!
3. What five blogs did you select for your comments?
Mrs. Hoovers First Grade - I commented on how online journaling is a great idea. It would be very motivating for the students to look back on their posts to see the growth that they had made.
Thornwood Tigers - I commented on the Animoto photo slideshow. I think that it would be a great tool for the parents to see what goes on in the classroom. You could take pictures at fun events and share them on your blog. That way even people who were not there could feel like they were a part of the action.
Kind Kindergarteners - I commented on the Word it Out tool that she used. I thought it could be a creative way for the students to practice their spelling words.
Thornwood Music - I was interested in the comment she made about online safety. As we teach our children how to use this new technology, we also need to prepare them for the dangers that come along with it.
Live 2 Learn & Learn to Live - I commented on the digital storytelling post. I think that this is a new way for the children to tell stories. For those who have a hard time remaining engaged throughout the writing process, this would be very motivating.
