I liked creating a blog for this class. Although I've never blogged before and therefore was not accustomed to the process of blogging, I enjoyed the experience after awhile. It was nice trying a new vehicle for posting reflections on the readings. The only thing I did not like about blogging is that I cannot see my classmates' blogs. I don't necessarily want to comment on their blogs, but it would be nice to see other ideas and strategies for teaching literacy.
If I ever work in a traditional school (such as for APS, instead of a very alternative charter school), I might use blogging to communicate with parents. I would post newsletters and other anecdotes about class activities/events on the blog. Depending on the age of students I might teach, I would allow students to use a blog to post certain assignments. For example, I might use it for journal entries as well as story and essay assignments.
Overall, I found several of the strategies I learned in this class very helpful for teaching literacy. I enjoyed the blogging, LFE Parts 2 and 3, and I imagine I will find the curriculum project helpful.
