Of all of the tools to which I have been exposed throughout this course I would say that blogging is definitely the one that I will use the most during my teaching career. I think that blogging allows users to fold in a lot of other Web 2.0 technologies, like podcasting and photo-sharing, into one place and it allows readers to comment on those posts. As a teacher I would like to be able to continue discussions with my students outside of the classroom and I think that a blog would be the best technology to use to do that. Blogging will also give me the opportunity to reflect upon lessons and make any additions after the fact and post them for all of my students to access, see, and ask questions about.
When the school year starts in September I am going to require that my students sign up for my blog and make a habit of looking at it on a daily basis for a few minutes. I will most likely require that they post a certain number of comments per month on posts that they find interesting, have questions about, or would like to find out more about.
