Welcome

Welcome to the digital portfolio of Katelyn Scott, teacher candidate. This digital blog/portfolio has two purposes. The first is to display my course work for submission as part of my Teaching with Technology course. The second is to support my growth, currently as a teacher candidate, and in the future as a teacher, by providing a digital space for me to both reflect on my practice, and collaborate with others by sharing resources I find, and activities, lessons, and units I create. I look forward to challenging my thinking, and I hope you will aide me in this challenge!

Blog Reflection


Dear Parents and Students,

I have really enjoyed the experiences I've had in creating this Classroom Blog. I loved how it allowed for an open line of communication between the home and school environments, a factor that I believe has a large impact on student success. I acquired many technological skills myself through the creation of the various posts and other learning objects found on the blog, and I cannot wait to use them in my future classes.

In the future I plan on continuing to use a blog in my class largely for communication purposes, but I also really wish to continue to explore the various types of learning objects that we have been discussing in my technology class, and find ways to incorporate more of them in my posts! I know though that this will take time, and that that is okay! On that note, if any of the parents out there have any other really interesting or unique web applications that could be used to create a learning object PLEASE share your expertise with me :)

After my experiences, I believe that the use of a classroom blog would be great in all divisions, at any grade level, because there is no condition on the type of materials that one needs to include on it, so it can be completely manipulated for each teacher's/class's individual needs! I also believe that it would be useful for teachers teaching any discipline, for the same reasoning that the blogged material has almost limitless possibility.
Please comment on this post about what your thoughts and feelings were through the course of using this classroom blog! I look forward to continuing to use the blog for communication purposes.

Happy thoughts,
Miss Scott
