I think that blogging is pretty effective. I think it is great to see what other people have to say about their experiences and their views. I love being able to get ideas off of my peers on how to improve my lessons and my teaching. Their feedback and advice always helps! When my partner, Jackie, comments, she is always helpful and let's me know how she feels about what I have wrote. It is great to have somebody always giving feedback and reading what you have to say because it not only helps for me to read what a peer has written and to see her views, but to see what I can improve and change about mine.
It is great to communicate with my seminar facilitator and PDS faculty for the fact that it helps keep a relationship with them so I'm not just a name, but they actually know me and what I believe when it comes to education. Also, they are the best people to help us out with improvement because they have the most experience, and they know how to make our teaching the most effective.
I think that blogs that really allow us to reflect and reassess our views and thinking are the best type of blogs. It allows us to really take the time and sit back and think about examples and why blogging is important.
Jackie.. What do you think are the best type of blog postings for somebody to do?
