Week 2, Things #3 and #4

Ok, Blog created and 'registered' - I think! I hope!! We'll see.

And I have an avatar, isn't she cute? Not sure what she's going to be doing, but we'll take it a thing at a time, eh?

The one thing I really like about the blog process vs. the web page is that when we update the blog, everyone with it on an rss feed will automatically get the updates. If new information about a math concept is on the blog I know that my subscribers will get it automatically. If parents are the subscribers, they know what we are doing in class. If students are my subscribers they know what they will be doing or have done in class. Win-win.

I can see actually having more than one blog depending on it's purpose and audience. I would really like to blog about research and information on my subject area specifically and learning and how the brain assimilates knowledge in general. So that is the big idea for today, figuring out how to use this blog. And since it is all learning all the time right now, I will consider my audience to be other teachers with an interest in how to make learning interesting, fun, productive and effective. Stay tuned for links, podcasts, and all the other "things" I'll be doing as part of Classroom Learning 2.0.
