This evening I’ve spent a few hours just doing work with various software. I found bloggoggle - a site where professionals can register their blogs. I thought it was something to try given the amount of visits I’m presently getting.
I then visited some of the different software available on the Advent Calendar like PageFlake and Whiteboard.
I have found that I am trying to get some input from the educational world. I visited the Edublog Awards site (congratulations to all the winners!) and looked at what these people are doing and what they are discussing in their blogs. I found that much of the discussion was similar to what I’ve been reading and what I’ve begun to discuss. As I try to get feedback, I find it very frustrating that no matter how many sites I visit and leave comments, I get little feedback. How does one enter the blogosphere? Is there something I’m not doing?
If anyone does happen to pass by, take a quick look at the wiki I am working on for my staff. I hope, in the new year, to begin working with the staff in exploring different technologies in our teaching. A kind of PLC for technology. I hope that if anyone has any ideas for things we might explore that they will leave a note for us. We would sure appreciate the ideas. Also, I will be starting to use the wiki and blogs with my classes as we explore various subjects in Medieval Europe and my Communication Production Technology class.
However, as Christmas approaches, I think it is time for a bit of a break so I’m looking at getting off this oval and into the pits for a tire change, some fuel, maybe even an upgrade to my engine. I look to continue my blogging over the holidays and try to find a way to control all the information that is coming at me from various outlets. Hopefully I can avoid any 4 wheel skids and keep on racing.
