Week 1 , January 14 getting started with blogging

The first week started with a nice surprise, by creating a blog of my own.

The process was really something to try, especially for a person like me, who is always willing to experiment with new ideas.

I did have some experience of contributing to other people's blogs by adding comments on them but this time it was different.

To be honest, it did not come easy. I even had to seek for advice from my children. My son, as always, was not availbale. My daughter, like gold she is, helped me with my first steps in the world of blogs!!!

Now I am writing my first comment on my own blog! VOW! So exciting! I feel like a student again!

These two weeks have given me a lot to think about.First of all, I have started to think about posibilities of using technologies (including blogs) in the classroom more.

I also found the discussions extremely useful. Once again, they convinced me in usefulness of shariing ideas-'two heads are better than one'. Like Andreja, I also like step-to-step approach to blogs (as well as to anything in this world).

Finally, I have found myself in the position of a learner which is important: teachers often forget how it felt to be a learner.

I am sure we have several weeks of new challenges and new experience ahead.

Let's help each other to become better teachers.

Best wishes to all of you,
Manana
