Personally, I'm not much of a blogger or journal keeper. So I don't feel like my life is incomplete without writing down my thoughts. Though, I have to admit, when I do it does feel really good to get those emotions out. So I feel that writing in a blog is good. When it comes to education, blogging would be useful in expressing one's ideas on a certain subject matter. For instance, Jan is interested in finding out more on Martin Luther King. She can go to her blog and express what questions and interests she has on the man. This brainstorming can lead to more ideas and more questions that she previously wouldn't have thought of before. In summary, blogging can help the thought processes move more quickly and smoothly. What a great way to brainstorm for a research paper in the classroom.

I could use a blog in my classroom to gain further comprehension that can't always be covered in class. I could add links to information for better understanding. I could also have a section where students could ask questions and give feedback.

All About Me

My name is Katherine and other than "Myspace", the blogging world is new to me. I'm currently in the last stages of my sophomore year. I think I transition to Junior after this semester. So I'm excited to see my education progress since it's taken me so long to get to this point. I work as a preschool teacher in the small town that I grew up in, Copeville. I've been teaching for two years and dearly love the children. It's not initially why I chose to become a teacher, but when I see how much of an influence I make on the children, it validates my career choice. I'm also a mother of three beautiful children. My oldest, Savannah, is five. She has a very caring heart and mommy's little helper. She LOVES animals. The middle child is David and he is four. He is my husband's oldest boy and he wants to be just like daddy. He is very energetic and manages to find his way into trouble. If he had a way onto the roof he would probably try to fly off of it. The youngest, Stephen, is three. He is my husband's little cut-up. He has such a bubbly personality and always ready to make you smile. Though David and Stephen are not biologically mine, they belong to me in my heart. The reason I first chose to become a teacher was simply because I wanted to have the same schedule as my children.
