blog



I used blogspot to maintain my personal blog entries. I was introduced to this website during a class I took on technology and assessment.

Here is the link to the [|Samuel Ogle MS STEP Team Blog].

=Project Description:= Throughout the STEP process, my colleagues and I have blogged using Blogger.com. Initially, we each established a blog and created a page using blogspot/blogger. Later, we compiled and wrote our entries on the Samuel Ogle MS STEP Blog. This year, we tended to make blog entries that were not cohesive. We noted ideas, but did not respond to one another. As we enter the next academic term, I hope we can utilize the blog to note ideas and check in with each other.

=Reflection:= Blogger is an exceptionally easy Web 2.0 app, but it is better used outside the classroom. Wikispaces allow more control and that is what I want to use when I expand online use of writing and instructional materials for my students.
