Thing 1: Blogging

I have been a School Library Media Specialist for 4 years. My first year was in a K-5 school, but since then I have been working at Washingtonville High School. I am taking this course because I want to stay on top of the technology my students are using. Many times the teachers are assigning projects using blogs, videos, podcasts, etc...and the students come to the library for help.
In this first module I have learned how easy it it to make a Blog. I understand there are many ways a blog could be used in the classroom, as well as in the library for book reviews or to promote reflective writing.This would also be a great tool for sharing what is happening in the library with staff and students. I have made note of two Blogs in particular that I plan to follow: Free Technology for Teachers and Library door.
