One blog that caught my eye in the "Some good Education Blogs" section was: Glenview Go! This blog was posted so student could post and comment on their own and other students' class projects. I like this blog because it allows student to take control and hold the reigns on what they want to do with their projects that they worked so hard on. it gives them a place to put them so they can be proud of their work. Given, putting a project or good grade on the fridge for a week and then into a box somewhere, never to be seen again, sounds so tempting and exciting for the students, I think that posting it onto a blog and getting feedback from other students or other students parents is a great confidence booster for kids in today's era.
There is one thing that I know for sure: someone outside your household telling you something you did was truly beautiful or amazing feels far better than the "good job honey" that you get from your parent or other family member. That is why I like this blog idea!
This blog will serve as a technological sponge. I will post new ideas as I get them. Allow me to elaborate: I want to be a fun teacher. I want my students to wake up in the morning and be excited to go to my class. I want to teach in a way that the students
absorb everything I teach because of the sole reason that it is interesting. I do not want to force my students to learn something because they
need to, I want them to learn it because they
want to.
