Adding photos to posts


Thanks to Jennifer for showing me how to add a photo to a post! It's so easy, I'm embarrassed that I didn't figure it out on my own. Honestly, I'm not that inept! Hope you are having fun with creating your blogs...I will have your blog circles configured for Monday.

Blogging in the Classroom

Hello students!
If you have ever read blogs, you've noticed that some are formal, some are messy. The main theme of blogs is the creator has control over the content and is usually posting some information that the author would like feedback. Your main purpose in creating blogs for EDU 3450 is to post your reflections of online articles that others can access and respond. Other purposes for the blogs may arise as the conversations within the class emerge and change--blogs are fluid representations of the authors' thoughts. Let's take advantage of this online tool to discuss what we're thinking about, what's working in education, ideas for the improvement of our youth, whatever you can think of that is appropriate for preservice teachers to discuss and ponder.

Because I'm learning how to use blogging tools, any student that can show me something new will get extra brownie points!

Thanks for reading and I'm enthusiastically awaiting hearing your thoughts!
