Thing 3: :Learning Through Others

I really enjoyed looking at the many different blogs. I think I could spend a few days just looking a blogs. It kind of becomes addicting when you start to see how much you can learn from other people. Some make bringing technology into the classroom look so easy. I loved the ideas of having each student having their own blog connected to the teacher page. That way it can become almost like the students electonic portfolio. Using video and audio is another great idea. (I though Blogs were just for writing. I didn't know you could put on video and audio too.) I like how one person simply recorded students reading aloud. How neat for them to be able to hear themselves on the computer once they are done. I could see these student website/blogs being really motivating to students, as well as having them want to chare what they have created with others.
