Today we learned about making a Google site! (Website) Totally fun. So I have been trying to decide what the difference is between a blog and a Google site. I have come to the conclusion that a Google site is something that you set up and tend not to alter very often, whereas a blog is something that is continually evolving.
I am having so much fun learning about all of these different things and I can think of countless ways to utilize them. How fun would it be to have a classroom website where I can post links to different things that might interest the students. It would also be really fun to have the class site include a basic picture and small bio about each student in the class along with a link to their individual blogs and information needed to contact them. We could make it a closed site that only they could access for security issues. Then the kids in the class would only have to remember one on line site in order to find and connect with any other student in the class. Combine this with smart boards and we would be set to go!
Seriously, I really enjoy learning about these different technologies and cannot wait until I have my own classroom and can utilize them in an educational setting. Thanks for providing instruction and answering my many questions!
