Yesterday I participated in Hamber’s Pro D day.  My contribution was a one hour workshop introducing teachers to blogging.  I worked off of this page which has my presentation, links to blogging sites & posts, and links to examples of teacher blogs.

Teachers had the opportunity to consider a variety of reasons (and audiences) a teacher may have in mind when blogging such as:

• sharing course information with students
• setting assignments for students
• showing student work to parents & colleagues
• reflecting on their practice

A followup session will be provided in June for teachers who left the session wanting to create their own blog.
