Some years ago, I created a simple blog to share ideas for special projects for young children. I was happy with the first trial but couldn`t cope with the workload of updating it: I was always too busy or probably I was finding the perfect excuse.
When I read one of our task was creating a blog, at first I thought it would be difficult to accomplish it on time. However, it was like playing a game, I was very cautious of not making mistakes and soon realized this is part of the learning experience.Once I carefully followed the instructions, the blog was ready. I never thought it would be so simple, I shouldn`t be afraid of getting involved anymore.
Also, I couldn`t avoid thinking about the multiple uses of creating blogs and incorporating them into my regular classes: sharing my students`stories, training inservice teachers to use them, using them for weekly assignments, to name a few.
Thanks Robert for reminding me that "Practice makes perfect", a treasure indeed.
Hi Ana~ Great job getting started. I like the picture you have added. Many times I have tried a new technology, then put it aside, only to come back to it later with a new purpose or new use or new inspiration. I think it is a part of the process, especially when there is such a huge amount of "stuff" out there. ~Robert
