Weekly Thought

Last week, my professor brought up a good point about facebook. He suggested to have two accounts, one personal and one for teaching. At first I was amazed facebook was mature enough to use as a professional website. But I can see how it would be easier and would get to that point where students would communicate through facebook. I might stick with my blog, for now, and in a few years there might be new and exciting technology when I start teaching my own class, that I may use instead.

There are more blogs and articles I subscribed to, but I could not fit them all so I am picking all my dance based subscriptions to talk about.

1) Great Dance widens my view on contemporary looks and cultural dancing. The pictures she chooses and the explanations are clear and understandable.

2) Teaching for Tech. is the class blog. I love Google reader because it shows me what exactly is new on the blog. It makes life a bit easier for me.

3) Educational Teaching and Life: I hope to learn the appropriate language. This will be difficult to follow, because I am an amateur. But it is exciting to follow a blog concerning matters hopefully I will be dealing with as I teach. Just the knowledge of having the right to learn freely from others is exciting.

4)NDEO informs me of concerts and dance events that I can maybe discuss for classes I am taking. It is updated frequently which is nice. Hopefully it will bring up more news about the national dance deapartment after their big meeting.

5)Dance Advantage pertains to me personally. I love this blog. The advice is great for the situations I am in right now during school. I chose this to learn about what other dancers are doing in my situation.

Second Post

For my first post on my blog I was so nervous to write something boring. But I guess since it is my very own blog I can say what ever I want. Since, this blog will be for my IPT class I would like to descibe my past experience with technology. I know how to get on the internet, and use it for research for papers. I know how to get to games and look at pictures. But I have not used any special programs or websites that I think would help me with my teaching. So I am interested to learn about what is out there in the world wide web. I was given a beautiful list of names of students who will be in my group. And hopefully we will be able to help eachother with the certain tasks and projects given. I am excited to keep up with my new blog and will try my best to keep this interesting.

My Very First Post

Wow! This is so exciting!
