Blog Post Assignment 11

I think Ms. Cassidy’s approach to technology in the classroom exactly what I imagined my classroom would be like. Ms. Cassidy stated that she is constantly using and searching for new use of technology to incorporate in her classroom. I think her use of blogs and posting the students assignments online is very effective. In the Skype interview, Ms. Cassidy stated that parents are able to see their child’s progress on their own time which is very beneficial.



In my classroom, I would use blogs the way she use them in her classroom. I would focus on numerous assignments while improving my student’s writing skills. Ms. Cassidy had a technology coordinator on board with her so she has not encountered many problems from the school district, administration, or parents. Likewise, I would seek out such a person to get on board with me so the use of technology in my classroom would go smoothly without any interruptions.

The benefits from using Ms. Cassidy’s methods in my classroom would be huge. As I watched the video of her classroom, the kids were enjoying themselves and were learning a lot. I think all students would be interested in learning by using these methods which would lead to tremendous academic success.

  1. You will probably have to be your own coordinator. We hope EDM310 will make that possible.

  2. Great post! We have similar ideas. I will use blogs in my classroom. Blogs can improve students writing skills. Also, blogs can allow the parents to view their child's work. The children did look like they were having a great time.
