In Conclusion

I particularly enjoyed this project. I really like to blog, but I have never used it as a learning tool between peers. I thought that this was a really valuable way for us to learn about blogging, experiment with it's uses, communicate and collaborate, and also learn about other multimedia that is out there. Overall, I found this to be a great multi-purpose activity that I was really engaged in. I have been inspired to branch out and attempt to start blogging with my students rather than just using this as a tool for parent/teacher communication.
I enjoyed learning about things such as wall wisher, flickr, adaptive technology, video and podcast sites, and additional resources. Most of all, many of these I have heard of or used before, but I found it to be so interesting to see how other teachers use them in their room. This proved to be a great way to start new ideas, brainstorm, and "beg, borrow, and steal" as all teachers do. This blogging activity gave us each insight into one another's classrooms to see just how many uses these resources have.
