Overall my blogging has been about the experiences and situations I talked about in my first blog but I don't think blogging is a fun and interesting as I thought it was. I feel that blogging would be more useful if we did it each time we went to our PDS, and also if we were paired with someone in the same content area and/or PDS and also that our mentor teachers subscribe to our blog. Not that I don't enjoy reading my partners blogs or comments but I feel that it would be easier to talk, respond, and relate to someone in the same specialization or PDS.
Talking with my blog partner is important to me, the comments left are nice to know someone read it and can relate to what I am doing in my PDS. Communicating with my seminar facilitator is extremely important so I know what I need to do and I can learn new and interesting things from them. And communicating with the faculty is also very important, especially my mentor teacher. Communicating with the faculty lets me know school policies and rules, upcoming events, and their expectations of me. Communicating and getting to know the faculty at your PDS also makes you feel more comfortable, welcome, and belonging there.
Overall, did you feel that the blogging helped you in becoming a teacher? Anything you would change about blogging?
I enjoyed blogging because I liked being able to receive quick feedback on my post from both you and my small group facilitator. I think that being able to share ideas and events that take place in the classroom is a very positive thing, and it allows for these ideas to grow. It also helps you took look at things different ways, or to receive feedback that you might not have originally thought of.
ReplyDeleteOne thing that I think could help blogging is the possibility of having more then one blogging partner. This way your ideas are spread to more of your peers who most likely have some of the same problems. Also you would receive more feedback and an additional point of view then given before.
