blogs

This week, as my movie suggests, we're going to be checking out blogging and setting up the blogs that will form the basis for our first assignment.  I would also like you to post the link to this new blog you have created for our EST430 unit in Edmodo.  In your first post on these new blogs you should also reflect on what you think about Edmodo and how you might use it, (or not as the case may be), in a classroom. Of course you can check out some movies to get you thinking about blogging and especially blogs in the classroom. You might also like to read [|Kathleen Morris Page on Educational Blogging] and Sue Waters' report on [|The State of Educational Blogging] and Alice Martin' s [|How, (and Why), Teachers Should Blog]. To see how other bloggers are using blogs, check out the [|2012 edublogs awards] which links to some of the best education based blogs in the blogosphere worldwide, (if you have lots of spare time you might like to click on the Previous Winners dropdown link too to see how blogging has developed over time).
