Will's Weblogged Continued

After reading other blogs by Will, such as “Blogging Environments,” “Business Cards We Love to See,” and “Setting Up Shop in Second Life, I realized just how much technology is impacting our lives as future teachers.

In Will’s blog, “Blogging Environments, he discusses how blogs are becoming more accommodating to teachers. This shows just how popular blgging has become in schools. As teachers, we must realize that we need to incorporate blogging into our classes. If the blogging environment is “shape-shifting” we must too.

In Wills post “Business Cards We Love,” he discusses how a teacher made a busness card for a class wiki. He satates, “ They write. They collaborate. They publish.” This is exactly what educators must be doing for their students. We must encourage our students to be creative, write, and publish to a wide audience. This is similar to “Pokinitis,” for this is exactly what Will is encouraging his daughter to do.Finally, Will’s blog “Setting Up Shop In Second Life,” the reader sees just how much programs like this are influencing our students. We must compete with this for our students’ attention.

All true. Isn't Will somethin'

What a loss to public schools in NJ...his departure to consult.

Schools often cannot keep the best people--why? You tell me.
