New Tasks

1) What makes a good blog?

A good blog is not too busy or distracting.  It should address a targeted audience and post musings or information that is meaningful to that audience.  I think a good blog post would invite commentary and thought related to the content of the blog.  A good title for the blog and description of the post title is good.  Blog language should be clear and a post not be too lengthy.

2) How could a blog enhance your existing school web presence? 

A blog could enhance my school's web presence by:
  • It would allow parents and peers to go to a place where they can learn more about me as a teacher.  
  • It would be a great place to get information about what is happening in the classroom and the school.   
  • Other teachers could visit my blog for ideas just as I visit other teachers blogs for ideas.
  • It would provide a space where I could go back and reflect on events in the classroom and adjust for future events.
3) Are blogs an easier way to self publish?

Oh, yes!  I just Googled "blogs and self publishing". Pages of ways to self publish using blogs along with links to many articles are out there.  It has changed the publishing world as we know it!  There are teachers out there making money from their blogs, because these blogs are linked to online stores where other teachers can purchase ideas and created works from other teachers, such as The Clutter Free Classroom.  This and many other blogs are linked to TeachersPayTeachers.http://www.teacherspayteachers.com/
