Thing 4

Commenting on blogs helps create a sense of community and interaction between bloggers.  As educators, we will face many similar situations in the classroom.  Through blogging, we can build a network that includes information, advice, suggestion, affirmation, and encouragement.  Through sharing experiences, blogging develops a sense of community, that can strengthen individuals in a personal and professional way and be carried over into our classrooms.  One  blog I selected to read (from our group) is Ms. Alicia.  We had a class together last semester, and two this semester.  I commented on her blog to complete part of this assignment, and to let her know I was following her posts.  I also commented on a post on Misty's 23things blog.  She posted about Pandora, and it interested me enough to sign up, so I thought I would share with her.

  1. I enjoyed your post, and I also share information with colleagues and fellow classmates. After spending a semester or working with someone, a rapport is built and confidences in their intellectual abilities. Educational blogs is another way of reaching out to a large population of fellow teachers.

    1. Hi Ms. Katrina! I'm pretty sure you sit next to me in 2 classes :) Blogging not only allows you to share ideas and opinions about various topics, but it also allows you to learn a little extra about someone that you may have not known. For example, I didn't know you had an undergraduate degree in social work. Sounds interesting! I, myself tried to land an interview with Childrens' Services, but they never gave me a chance. Guess my lack of experience was unattractive and my degree in psychology wasn't good enough. So here I am...going for my MAT just like you. Guess everything happens for a reason. Good luck towards finishing your degree!!!
