Final Thoughts

I have really enjoyed the Blogging 101 class.  Since I will be transitioning to English Writing next year, I can see many useful ways to incorporate a class blog or to encourage my students to create their own in my classes.   I think students and parents will enjoy visiting the blog for classroom information as well.

Posting pictures and videos is also super easy - I need to take my camera to school more often.  There are so many fun gadgets, and I have seen some fabulous blogs that my peers have created.  Learning from a variety of people has allowed me to become more creative by learning how to download templates from other online resources, and ways they will use in their blogs in the classroom.  Allowing student writers to incorporate other types of creativity into their writing may help them to enjoy it more - who knows?

My blog is definitely a work in progress and I have already created a separate one for my English class.
