Tool #1

Today I set up my blog. I've done a blog before, so the process was not completely new to me, but creating an avatar was new. I had trouble getting mine to talk and honestly still don't know if it does or not!

I could use blogs in my classroom as a way for my students to reflect and analyze the material we are learning in the classroom. By assigning questions for them to write about I would be able to monitor their understanding. I could also have them use it to help each other with homework assignments. They can interact with each other and communicate and be able to be resources for their classmates.
