Actually putting talk into action...

 I have found that the SeeSaw app easily allows me and my students to share and blog various items that make up our school days. It's easy and secure and allows for easy home-school connections. Students publish their best work

Value

Check out this video about the value of blogging in education. It's short and sweet, but right to the point. Blogging in education has so many benefits from publishing to an audience, to sharing and receiving feedback about a topic.

Getting to the Basics of Blogging

I've been reading the Cult of Pedagogy blog recently and have found several things that stand out to me. I love how it offers insight and perspectives into some of the basics of education, but also gets to more of the "heart" of teaching. It's very organized and lets you quickly jump to different pages with ease. This is definitely a resource I wish I'd known about earlier on! I think the part that stands out the most to me is the "Teacher Soul" section. There are so many layers to education and so many layers to teachers. I think it's important to talk about these things in a candid and real way.
