Thing 3

When I become a teacher, I could use a blog for many things. I  think what I would use it for would be to give the students and parents an idea of what I am like and who I am. I would also use it to let parents know when they could volunteer for room activities. This would be a great place to always let the parents and kids know what is going on in our classroom on a regular basis. I could post what homework is due the next day, a schedule for the upcoming week, and any announcements I may have. Sometimes kids forget to tell their parents important information, and a blog could be a great way to insure that this information gets delivered to them.

Thing 1

While watching the 7 1/2 Habits tutorial, I felt as though the easiest habit for me would be to accept responsibility for my own learning. I am the type of person who likes to get their work done and make sure it's done right. If I don't know the answer to something, I will try everything until I can figure out what to do. The hardest habit for me would be to have confidence in myself as a competent, effective learner. If I see a problem that we have not gone over in class, I will freak myself out and make myself believe that I don't know how to do it. It is very difficult to have confidence after you have been starring at a problem for a long time and have not gotten anywhere with it.
