At The Teachers Desk

This week I looked at a professional blog called At The Teachers Desk. This blog was very interesting. It had many gadgets on the layout such as Worldwide Visitors, Contributors, Other blogs, a labels section and a couple more. It was a very easy page top go through and look at.

While on the professional blog, I looked at a few of the posts on it. One of the posts that I looked at was Using Technology for Effective Communication. This post gave many ways on the computer and on your phones that you can communicate with people all over the world. It is also important as a teacher to be able to know how to use these devices and communication sites because it makes it easy to communicate with parents. The site suggests using Twitter. The post says that Twitter is a quick communication device, but that parents do not access it enough to make it a worthwhile tool. It also mentions facebook and using your mobile phone to communicate with parents about your students progress or behavior in school. You can easily tell the parents what assignments the student missed while they were absent or any other thing.I also looked at some other post on the blog such as How do I know I am not just being selfish?

I believe it is important to have a professional blog because you can communicate with other teachers, post your thoughts, ideas, experience, and feelings onto the Internet for others to see. It is important to do so because you can easily help out future teachers or even teachers already in the workforce.
