How can a blog increase my effectiveness as a teacher?
I am a specialist in my school as the technology teacher, so I have the unique position of only seeing my students once a week. With much of my time spent helping to troubleshoot and answer immediate questions during class, there is little to no time for students to discuss topics of technology interest with me or their peers. By establishing and utilizing a blog, students can find time between our classes to interact and collaborate with one another. Blogs also give a safe place for students to voice their opinions. This can be especially helpful for students that don’t like to contribute to discussions during class.
Since I am in a very unique position of being the technology teacher at the elementary level, I wanted to find a blog that was specifically about elementary technology education. I found bit by bit. It is a blog created by Bob Sprankle. He is an elementary school Technology integrator. He teaches locally in Maine so the demographics will be similar to my school.
