Blogs

So I'm just getting my first blog done. When I first set it up I was in class and using Internet Explorer and for some reason when I got home I couldn't open my blog, I couldn't even open blogger.com. Thanks to our fearless leader I was able to pinpoint the problem and am finally able to start blogging. Apparently, Internet Explorer was trying to connect to the NMSU server, even from my house which is 150 miles away. I tried opening it in Google Chrome and everything seems to be working fine. What to take away from this lesson? Try different search engines!

Now on to the subject at hand, blogging. Prior to this class I knew what blogging was but I had no interest in it whatsoever. My group had the first in class presentation and I have to admit, I was a little nervous about what I could bring to the group since I had the least amount of experience in the classroom and blogging. I think the presentation went well and I learned a lot. I was amazed at the different avenues you, as a teacher, could incorporate blogging into the classroom. My favorite one was the WebQuest blog. What a fun and interactive lesson for the students!

I hope you enjoyed this blog, see you next week!
