"If you are called to be a street sweeper, sweep streets even as Michelangelo painted, or Beethoven composed music, or Shakespeare wrote poetry. Sweep streets so well that all the hosts of heaven and earth will pause to say, 'Here lived a great street sweeper who did his job well.'"

-Martin Luther King, Jr.

New class and new blog

I'm excited for this class.  I am now beginning to see results in my classroom from the courses I am taking at Walden.  I want to incorporate more technology in the classroom and this year all of my students are using blogs as an extension of our classroom.  They are using the blogs in a similar way that we use the blogs for this course.  Students have one post a week and must follow their classmates and respond to one entry a week.  So far students like the idea of the blogs.  They have had fun creating them and have commented how similar it feels to Facebook. I hope their enthusiasm continues throughout the year and I hope this class helps me improve my use of Blogs in the classroom.

  1. Hi Matt,
    It is great to be in a Walden group with you again. I totally agree with you that as I experience results of my learning at Walden in my work, it is exciting as well as challenging and humbling.
    I hope the start of your school year has been fantastic, and you know--it is not long before we are DONE!!!
