     I had the opportunity of being able to listen to Kaila and Kristi talk about their experiences as teacher bloggers and how it all works. I like the way Kaila and Kristi have their instagram set up and how quickly they will reply if there is any questions. I think they both made very good points on how to work a Professional Learning Network.     What I learned about Professional Learning  Networks, many teachers use them or have accounts of their own whether it is on Instagram, Tik Tok, YouTube etc. These accounts ensure ways for teachers to receive new information to use in the classroom or share techniques they use themselves.

This teacher blogger taught many hands on experiences that kept the students attention but also  incorporated all the different kinds of learners in a classroom setting.      I feel with this bl...

Almost as though blogs were not thought in my mind and not important to me.   In the three blogs I have recently read I feel I agree with how these educators feel since it can often be difficult to know what it is like going into another teachers class and having no idea "what is going on behind the closed," ( Couros ). Before reading George  Couros blog I did not think of the negative thoughts that could appear in ones mind if my classroom door is closed.
