Quote of the week

"The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think--rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men."

Tonight's class

Only 3 hours of class and I am amazed at how much I learned. Once I got over the problem of being able to log on, everything else went very well. I was so excited about setting up the blog that I went home and started "playing" around with my blog. To me it is just fun to click on something to see what will happen...from changing font colors to posting a entry. If I can be taught how to use the computer to set up blogs, I can only imagine how easy it would be for kids to do this since they grasp things about technology so much faster than I do. One use I could see for a blog would be that students could blog to each other about books they have read. .. almost like electronic book reviews. I am sure other teachers are doing this but since blogging is new to me I was trying to think about how I could use this aspect of technology in the classrooms. Can't wait to see what we learn about next!
