Blog Post #11 - My Experience and Thoughts Around Educational Blogging


Blogging as a way to demonstrate my knowledge and understanding of various literacy topics has been an enjoyable experience for me.  Often times, as a student and teacher, I feel that only a small percentage of people are able to gain an understanding about how I feel, and what I think relating to educational topics.  Showing information on the blog provided me with the opportunity to gain more feedback from my peers, and others with similar interest.  When you are constantly on a journey of self-improvement both positive and negative feedback can be utilized for your betterment.
     Since I work with very young students, pre-k and kindergarten, I do not see myself using blogging as an assignment or teaching tool.  I do however see how it can be beneficial for older students.  It not only provides a source for them to share their ideas but there is also a plethora of information available for them to utilize.  I myself plan on using a blog as a way to share thoughts, ideas, and experiences with other educators.  I have found blogging to provide me with some form of personal satisfaction and I am sure that feeling will increase the more I share and am able to support others.  This experience has opened a door for me and I am looking forward to see where it leads.
