This year I am so excited for a new beginning. The things that I am most excited for are all of my new ideas. Last year as I learned the new ideas, they seemed more difficult to implement because I was already in the midst of plans and other learning. I think starting a fresh year with fresh students and families will make implementation much smoother. Specifically I am looking forward to my technology ideas. I did start the kidblog in my class last year and it went very well. Now I felt that it was a practice run and I cannot wait to develop it from the beginning of the year.
I also blogged on my school website for the families. It didn't go very well because I started about 2/3 into the year. Not many parents read it. I ended up quitting the blog and no one even noticed. This year I am going to start it at the beginning and preview it with families at open house. I will add class notes, homework assignments, a google calendar of events, a daily blog, links to websites for fun academic games, and some photos of our group. I am hoping that it is a useful tool this year!
