Registration was a breeze. Filled out the form, clicked 'submit' and logged off. Then I went to D2L so I could see what questions should be answered in this entry, and I didn't see my name under EDUC 3040 - 12. I saw other student names, but not mine. We'll see. Maybe it has to be read by someone first. Anyhow...
I checked out Edublog and really liked some of the uses for blogs in teaching. I am uncertain how I would use blogs. I don't want to tell the students I will check the blogs all the time, so they can get help anytime they need it, for fear that they would expect me to check it 24 hours a day. I am supposed to learn how to play you know.
The most effective use of blogs for me would probably be as a journal of my classroom experiences and reflections from lessons presented. Maybe as a forum for teachers to share ideas as well. These two ways seem to me to be the most useful, right now anyway.
Wooo hooo, only 20 'things' to go.

I agree with what you said about using a blog as a "journal" or a way to self reflect on lessons. I'm not sure how I would incorporate blogs into my classroom either. I plan on completely embracing the use of technology, but I don't want to make every little thing I do technology based. It's also true that as a teacher, we would be expected to monitor those blogs 24 hours a day... and that would be hard to do.
