Blogging...I was a little skeptical about this but now that I have been working on it I think that blogging is actually fun. I think a blog can be very useful if it is used daily and kept up to date. I am excited to create and build my blog so that it is useful and interesting to use. Making my blog will be interesting because I will be working on something that is new to me. Hopefully everything develops the way I want it to and I create something personal to me and helpful to others.
I think that using blogs in the classroom setting could be very beneficial to students as well as teachers. I think that it is a really interesting tool that students could use in order to learn new ways of communicating over the Internet and also a new way to publish their own school work. Using new technologies that expand their thinking with inovative ways of producing school work. I see the potential for blogs to also be very useful to teachers in communicating with other teacher and sharing ideas and thoughts on curriculum, lessons, activities and ways of interacting with students. It would also make a new dimension to the student-teacher relationship which is productive because it is a good way to interact outside of the classroom with questions, concerns and getting help when it is needed.

Links to new websites

Hey all!
So I added two new website links to my page. They are both educational as well as handy tools to use. The first one is the website link to the University of Montana website. This one is handy to use for information on anything that has to do with the campus. It contains all of the information you would need that has to do with the university as well as articles, websites and other educational events that have been or will be on campus.
The second one I added was the link to The New York Times website. This one is fantastic to use when you want to look up current events and see what is going on in the world. There are news stories from around the world and locally which is useful to stay informed with all of the news stories. Since the world is so interconnected and intertwined in everyday life events it is important to know what is going on not only locally but also world wide to understand and make sense of what is going on and why events happen in the world.
So enjoy the website links and use them if you feel it necessary to do so!!
