CEDO535 Week 1

What I learned this week is that my blog needs help! It needs updating. As usual, finding the time to keep it fine-tuned is difficult. In Chapter 3, Barbara Ganley is quoted as saying that a teacher who is confident in their tools is bound to rub off that excitement to their students. She is so right. If I can get myself excited about blogging and use is on a daily basis, then I think I can have real success with teaching it to my students. I really want to teach blogging to my students this year, so this class is coming to me at the perfect time. If I can get a good blogging schedule down in the next few weeks, I think I'll be prepared to teach it to my students beginning second semester.

  1. Mary,
    I'll go in halfsies for the motivational speaker that will cause you and me to change habits and use a blog enthusiastically on a daily basis. What do ya say? I, too, must update mine.

  2. Mary,

    I wish you the best in your blogging!! I have tried to keep up with a personal blog as well and it hasn't gone as planned. It was suppose to be a "pregnancy" blog to share and document memories...yea that kinda didn't happen! I think my biggest challenge was finding the time. I think that if you set up a schedule as to when you blog it will become more of a habit.

    Doesn't it seem silly that we have to create or force a habit on something we feel passionate about? :)
