Reflections
The process of designing this blog started out a little bumpy. When I
first went onto blogger, I ran into my first question immediately. I
was unsure if I was supposed to choose Google profile or Blogger
profile. After determining that I was supposed to choose Blogger
profile, I was on my way. I had trouble watching the video explaining
the step-by-step process. I could hear, but could not see the video of
the computer screen. I was reminded that I am definitely a visual
learner! So I thought I would see what I could accomplish on my own. I
found the initial setup of the blog to be very simple, but making
modifications was a little more troublesome. I decided that the video
was a must, and determined that I could successfully watch the video at
school. After watching the video, the real fun began. I felt some
frustration in trying to convert my pages to tabs, but eventually I
discovered the secret and my page began to take shape. Being your
typical female, the most enjoyable part for me was changing fonts,
backgrounds, and layouts. The hardest part was deciding what I liked
best!
I learned a lot through this experience. I always thought that a
webpage was something I would never have. I believed it was beyond my
technological capabilities. Yet, with my first blog site behind me, I
found that it was much simpler than I could have imagined. There are
little things that I am still figuring out, but I always feel so proud
when I discover the right path. I look forward to not only using this
blog for my classroom, but also teaching my students how easy it is to
use and encouraging them to do so also. In the future, I would like to
have assignments, my pacing guide, and all relevant class information
included on my blog. In this technological age, I believe having the
blog will help me be more accessible to my students and my parents.
