here is my response to:
COMPOSE a blog post on your blog to share your initial thoughts, reactions, and feelings about blogging.
Think about and respond to the following questions to get you started:
Have you blogged before? Have you read blogs before? How does it feel to share your thoughts so publicly? What are your fears or concerns about blogging?
You'll need to go to http://blogger.com/ and log in to your account. Click on the Blue "New Post" button to start your post. Title your post "Activity 4"
I have used blogs before for projects as well as the nature preserve where i volunteer at has a blog that i sometimes contribute to.
i have read blogs before, some are more useful than others, there is one person that compiles all of the scores for the SEC teams and posts them once a day, that is nice for a coach to have that info handy about other teams in the league. I have that set up in my RSS reader and as soon as it is posted, i can read it. very useful.
i'm not a big fan of the public sharing part, not that i think there are a lot of people going to read this, but i prefer my privacy and would rather keep my thoughts to myself.
i don;t really have concerns about blogging for classroom use. i guess that the website that i keep is a sort of a blog. students and parents can go there to keep up on projects and assignments, and get web links to further research about the topics we talked about in class.
thanks for reading.
