Why

February 4 post of why to blog

Also an archive of what you did for the year

Parents can talk to their kids about things they are doing in school

Build Community

You experience something together. You blog about it. You read about it. Parents read about it.

Also, kids blog their hearts out and teammates get to read that.

Important point: Just the posting alone is worthy.

We build this blog together.

Pics and statements about classmates, sharing ideas

Strengthen Communication Skills

1. Exposing them to different means of communication

2. Writing for a purpose

3. How to respond to others

Strengthen them by writing more and choosing how to communicate what they want to say.

Empower and inspire

Why do I love educational technology?
One simple reason:
It empowers students to live into the fullness of who they are.
I want for them what I want for myself. .
I want to have the courage to:
Find my voice.
Face my fears.
Unleash my potential.
I want my students to:
Find their voices.
Face their fears
Unleash their potential.

All in the service of making this world a better place.

To empower all students to live into the fullness of who they are and
make the world a better place
