Blog #3

When I was viewing the blogs and posting comments, I also read the comments that were already there. When they were the same thoughts as mine, it made it more enjoyable to read and write on other blogs. I feel like the comments help because it makes you sit down and really think about what others are reasoning and apply that to your own thought process. I feel like I learned more ways to think about blogging and the constructivist theory.

I realized that I am not alone when thinking about certain teaching aspects. Most were feeling the same way about blogging and especially about constructivism. It made me feel excited about the future of teaching because I realize more people are going to try to use the constructivist theory in their own classrooms. This may be a hard task but if we do apply the theory, our future students are going to understand why they are learning what they are learning and be excited about everyday lessons.

Blogging is more enjoyable now that I know what others believe. I would love to use blogs for my future classroom, for instance, with a science fair project. This way the students could write about their findings each day by saving them on this website and their own blog and worry less about losing a paper that they wrote their findings on and making sure that their lab reports are accurate. The students gain a new technology tool and are able to read others findings about different projects in the classroom.
