Blog post #3
A blog creates the medium of communication community where the author and the viewer may share thoughts, insights, and ideas. A class blog likewise serves the same pros and it even encourages collaboration by allowing an easy access to fellow classmates to view his/her own blog in sharing their resources and insights. Also, when a particular group assignment is given, students in ETEC 414 could view/edit what each member of the group has come up with and compare and contrast and further on editing process by posting comments on them. Surfing through several people's blogs, I found interesting sources and ideas that I might apply to my future teaching career. Also, I highly believe in the team teaching where two or more teachers gather together to share thoughts and ideas and collaborate lessons and what not to teach class more effectively.

Hi Christina,
I like the idea of the blog being used for the teachers, especially if they are team teaching. I'm going to be doing a learning community at WCC in the fall, and I think starting a blog for our students would be an interesting way to let them in to our thoughts about the class (although I guess there are issues of confidentiality and stuff to deal with).

Very good points Christina. Even though I'm not going into teaching, any way for teachers to come together and better themselves is a plus. Like they always say two heads are better than one right? Or in this case 20 heads or something. If our class blog is used in a positive way to help each other then it'll be great. As long as we try to keep the negativity away and keep an open mind we'll be fine.
