Another challenge

Another challenge has been given to the EDU 350 class....the creation of a PSA. This is very exciting and I absolutely cannot wait to view the finished product.....I think we might have another filmmaker in the making...

The Work of an Educator

Professor Mislevy has placed the onus on her students to blog at least twice per week. At the outset I did not feel that this was too hard a task to complete. Since my last posting I have completed no less than eight projects and completed five research papers...all while working a parttime job; alot of work for anyone you might say.

While the work that I was able to complete is not a good excuse (for not blogging), I cannot help but wonder what my life (and workload) will look like in the very near future when such things (in addition to teaching) will be required. I need help; I cannot seem to manage all of my responsibilities within a 24 hour time frame. Any suggestions?

When I initially registered for this class (and even until the very first class) I thought that I would benefit very little by spending three hours in a class where I already knew EVERYTHING. I was dead wrong! In the short amount of time that we have spent in class I have learned so much....I wish I had discovered Inspiration a year ago. And who knew about Diigo and Del.ici.ous? Not only have I began using this knowledge...but let us all not forget to pass it along to others.

First Entry

A blog is similar to an electronic journal. Blogs are or can be used as primary sources of information for some and for disseminating information to others. They can be used for print media, pictures, videos, and an assortment of different media. Blogs can also be used for Op-ed purposes as well. Blogs can be used by anyone and many sites such as blogger.com offer free weblog accounts.
Blogs can be used in the classroom to communicate with students and parents regarding school activities and homework. Students may share reflections regarding classwork, assignments, world events. and may also be used for communication between students for debates, and the like. Blogs can also be an effective tool for journaling and staying abreast of world news.
