Setting up my classroom blog was an easy experience. I
went onto Blogger.com, and set up my blog without any problems. I was
disappointed because I would have liked to see more options for layouts and
designs for my blog. I am happy because it is easy to use and access
anywhere. I feel comfortable using it and it's relaxing writing this on
my couch with my tablet. Many teachers
do not always keep up with classroom websites or blogs, but this website makes
it easy enough to keep up with and update it daily and/or weekly. This is a great tool to have in any age
classroom!
The ease of use, I believe, will make it very easy to introduce this technology to my students. The easier the program, the more they will actually be able to focus on the task of blogging, and the best ways that they can use it to showcase their learning and performance. I am really looking forward to providing them with instruction on how to use Blogger.com and then watching to see where they let the technology take them.
ReplyDeleteMelinda, I agree that blogging would be a great tool to have in a classroom. This was my first experience blogging and I think blogger.com was fairly easy to navigate and use. I agree that having additional layouts would have been more appealing, but I think there is some way you can download some templates from the internet. I am not that "blog savy" yet, so I just made due with what they had! I think your layout of your blog looks fantastic! I am sure as time goes on, it will only continue to look even better!
