Reflection #4

Experiences with Blogs and ePortfolio


I have not learned much about blogs from this class because I have used this website before. Its a neat site that initiataly took me a while to learn how to do all of this stuff. I do not see this being useful in high school settings besides for reflections on experiences outside of the classroom that apply to a particular topic but beyond that, I only see blogs being useful for personal use at this point in time.

On the other hand, I cannot get enough of the ePortfolio. I see this project as being a very useful tool in getting a job. I see it as an online resume that can constantly be updated and modified to keep with my doings in my life. I find myself thinking of things to add to it and I will play around with the lay out as I watch TV. Yes I am a big dork but who cares!

Good observation. There are many technologies going on for personal uses.

We, educators, are hoping to find some educational uses, some connections between students' daily lives and the curriculum, and sometimes try to motivate and help kids learn by using some technologies.

On the other hand, technologies are tools. How we're going to use it depends on the purposes, objectives, experiences, and creativity. Remember you always have many choices of various media and technologies. Explore and you'll find the useful ones for the purposes.
