Wk 1 - Just a thought - Free Choice

In Melissa Caruso's blog entry she mention doing a book study of the book we are reading for this class. We recently did a book study this year and it was horrible. We read some chapters and answered some questions. The same way we teach our students. What about a book study using blogs as we are doing now. The teachers would read the chapters post their reflections and reflect on other teacher's thoughts. We could also create professional blogs for teachers to research and write about something they find interesting that impacts the field of education. They are always sending something through the e-mail. Why not put it in a blog. It would be my hope that the teachers would experience first hand the power of blogging and how it could be use in the classroom. I know our district allows blogging because they have a blackboard class for blogging. There will be some district policies to follow but I am sure it would be worth it. This is something I will definitely look into for next year. Wish me luck!
