Final Post..Maybe.

I have learned blogging is a very important technological tool. Blogging is actually very interesting. Prior coming to this class I was a little skeptical about blogs. I did not know too much about them and I did not understand the benefits they can produce. Now after creating my own blog, I have been able to learn how it works relatively quickly. Testing the different functions that the Google blogger has to offer has also been very helpful. This simple program is truly unique. It has so many different options you can choose from, depending on your own desires. I like that because I am very fond of choice.

Blogs are unique! They can be used to communicate thoughts or ideas while at the same time being able to correspond with others. Blogging can be used to discuss any topic whatsoever. For me, education blogs tend to be capture my attention. Within these blogs, some between educators themselves, the topics have a wide variety of range. Being able to find and join these blogs is great way to learn. As a future teacher I will not know everything and will have many questions. So having a easy way to communicate with other teachers will be very useful.

I have also learned how blogging can be incorporated in the classroom. Our guest speaker (Leah Welch) showed us how she uses blogs and I picked up a lot of ideas for myself. I realize blogging can be used for different purposes. For example, an online filling cabinet, a space to communicate with parents or other teachers and even a class portal. It is really neat!

As for continuing this blog, maybe? But I know that in the future, especially as a teacher, I will be maintaining and running a couple blogs myself.

My advice to new bloggers, is too relax. It is easy to learn and use! And blogging does have a lot of potential benefits on a personal or professional level. Really blogging is actually FUN! :-)
