Communication+and+Collaboration+Through+Blooging

// **Blog: ** // [|Renee Rostien's Blog for 3rd Grade Ideas] A blog is a web application site that individuals can use to express their thoughts and ideas. It can be used as a journal or diary. Entries are posted in reverse order with the most recent post first. Blogging is a way for people to communicate with others. Blogs are usually updated daily. Individuals can upload pictures and web sites to share with others.
 * Description: ** //Creating a blog//

First, I went to www.blog.com, I used my iGoogle address to set up a new blog. I thought about different topics to write about. After deciding on a topic, I choose a title for my blog, then I typed my information, and posted it. I choose to write my blog about end of the school year themes. I shared a little information about the themes that I have done in the past, and asked other teachers to post their thoughts and ideas about new themes. I also posted a link to a site that I really like called Story Jumper. I gave a little information about the site and asked others to take a look at it and tell me what they thought about the site.

Creating this blog was easier than I thought it would be. Because the blog is a quick and easy way to communicate, I plan to create another blog that I can use to share thoughts and information with my classroom parents. I will continue to use this blog to communicate with other teachers, to share information, and to get new ideas. I also plan to follow other teacher blogs to keep up with new trends in education and technology. **I** am always looking for new ideas, so I am planning to continue blogging through my blog as others as well.
