Thing3

As a language teacher, I'm very excited about the the ability to communicating with students in my classroom. It has been awesome for my students to blog about their books we are reading , weekend plans, courses, etc. and then have have feedback from all of them.

Thing 1 and Thing 2

I am participating in 23 Things because even though I did not grow up with such technology, being a mom and teacher this technology is all around me and I want to be a part of it. I find it amazing! I hope to learn to set up a blog and then use it efficiently to enhance my teaching in the classroom and to enhance my communication as well as my data collection and use.
The new insight I gained during Thing 1 was was how many aspects of instructional strategies existed and how well they were organized and explained in our book, "Using Technology with Classroom Instruction that Works".
Writing on the internet is a bit intimidating. I keep what I post professional because I know anyone can see it. I think this is good practice for anyone.
