I think that creating online communities and participating in PLNs is a great idea for teachers. We are always looking for ways to get and share ideas. Also, I think being able to communicate with teachers in other districts, cities, and states can increase our knowledge and our toolkits. Teachers naturally want to talk about what they do (what is working or not working for them) and getting other peoples opinions and ideas is extremely helpful. I am excited about this journey!
The thing that stood out for me about commenting was how to attract comments. Asking questions within my post is definately something I am going to try to do. I also liked the part about returning comments. I think it is very important to respond to what people say in their comments, just as it is important to respond when people are talking to each other face to face.
The blogs I commented on were:
Live Laugh & Learn
Hard at work
Life long learning
Jello's 11 tools
Ms. Farias' 11 tools for the 21st century

ReplyDeleteI like your blog!! Congratulations! Yes you are right teachers learn from each other. What teacher hasn't gone on the internet and looked at other teacher's classroom ideas or anything they have to share? The part about making question it is a little hard for me, but I think there are times when you will have them and some times you won't. But answering to the comments is a big part of blogging, which requires time. Don't you think?
ReplyDeleteWell Said Renee!!! I like it too when teachers share what works for them and what doesn't work for them. It helps us all to be better teachers
