BLOGSVILLE, Ontario

I have never blogged officially before...although I think that keeping up with Facebook is really just a blog. I think that it is great we are learning how to make a 'real' blog because this is what our students will be doing and it is necessary for us to at least keep up to date with what they will be doing online. I am not sure how much I will use it outside of requirements for this course though. I think it is really quite a strange concept to keep other people informed as to what we will be or have been up to, and perhaps even more bizzare to be reading up on what other people have done. I hate that technology is replacing real-time contact and personal contact in ourlives, yet at the same time it is neat to be able to communicate with people around the world.

I have only taught in Kindergarten, Grade one, and with some special classess such as ABLE and LD. None of these classess really have beed appropriate for extenssive technology integration so far but in my next placement I am looking forward to teaching Grade six and integrated a lot of technology and media comunication lessons.
