Week 4 Reflection

I am very excited by this week's discussion. I am very interested in using blogging in my classroom. The major obstacle that I need to overcome is that my students do not have email addresses. I am looking for a blog site, especially an educational blog site, that does not require my students to have an email address. I believe that the use of blogs can enhance communication with parents, students and faculty. I also think that blogging can provide an outlet for students to express their thoughts and opinions in an open forum and allow for discussion where quieter students may be less inhibited. I am also very glad that I am able to complete many of these assignments at work as I have been working some crazy hours. I am working on implementing the school website, writing a two grants, and setting up Accelerated Reader for my school. Of course, this all needs to be done yesterday or sooner. I do not think that I have left school before 9 pm a single day this week....It is also a very busy week at my other job. I am glad that I do not need much sleep! I was wondering if anyone in the class uses Skype?? I have been very pleased with it thus far. Hope everyone has a great week!
