Teaching and inspiration blog

Hello I am Miss. Bostock, I try my hardest to include all my students in activities so that each kind of learner is taking part. 

Before reading the articles I was iffy with blogging since I have never gotten into blogging myself nor have I ever really read blogs unless it was for school. 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. As well, reading Kathleen Morris blog post it came to my attention that social media and technology is highly used in todays society, "a classroom blogging program offers ongoing opportunities to discuss internet safety and appropriate online behaviours in an authentic setting," (Morris). I agree with her because many parents do not teach their child how to be responsible when using the internet. Finally, being able to find and use teaching resources increases your knowledge as a teacher but also helps with information you can use while teaching. I agree with Bethany Petty's blog post that starting a teacher blog can increases opportunities to become a better teacher, "when you begin to publicly share what you do in your classroom, you start holding yourself and your teaching to a different standard" (Petty). In conclusion my views on blogs have greatly been changed after reading other peoples teaching blogs. #reflectiononblogs #teacherblogging
