Reflection Of Blog, Blogs, Podcast, And Twitter

Improved Essays
In this lab we learned about tools we could use as teachers; they were blogs, podcast, and twitter. Learning about the tools I learned that the word “Blog” came from “web logs”; I found that really interesting. Blogs are web pages that can be created by anyone. They are similar to a personal journal. To start using a blog, you create a website. Then when you have that created, you are ready to write whatever you please to write about; videos, writings and pictures. Its like an online diary that everyone can see. Blogs are more meaning full then podcast and twitter accounts. In a blog you choose to talk about something that you are passionate about. An example that I saw that caught my attention was, Ms. Cassidy’s classroom blog. I liked how …show more content…
I personally own a twitter account, so I am informed on what twitter is and how you use it. Twitter is an online social networking service that you ‘tweet’ a message that has a limit of 140 character or less. When I had first created my twitter account, it was confusing; but like I had mentioned earlier, all you do is tweet small things about your life in less then 140 characters. You can follow your friends, celebrity’s, politicians, and anyone who has an account. When you follow them you are allowed to see their tweets about their opinion and what they do throughout their day. If you agree on their opinions or whatever they tweet, you can favorite or like their tweets. There are other little things you can do with twitter like; post videos, gif videos, links, and pictures. With hashtags, you can join in on the topic and state your opinion. Twitter is meant for short and simple tweets. Similar format to a blog, but is simplified and is straight to the point. Since twitter is one of the main popular social media tools, it would be a good idea to create one for your classroom. I have had teachers that created twitter accounts and post reminders about assignments that are really helpful. As a teacher in the future I do see myself using this tool to stay connected with my students and their

    I argue that societal norms, expectations, and gender roles impact gender inequality for women in the workplace and negatively result in the postponement of child bearing, large income gaps between genders, and delaying of marriage. Each one of these issues both separately and cohesively negatively impact the institution of family. Utilization of the social paradigm, symbolic interactionism, is displayed through research from Adams (2015), Bonnie (2011), Evers, Andrea and Monika Sieverding (2014), Harvard Summer School (2013), Herr, Jane L. and Catherine D. Wolfram (2012), North (2015), and Pedulla, David S. and Sarah Thébaud (2015). Reducing or eliminating gender inequality in the workplace will reduce family issues and make family bonds stronger.…

Currently, I’m still in a phase of processing and exploring Twitter, I do see the potential, but feel I need continue to revise and update who I’m following to create an online network that extends my thinking and practice.

    What Is Schon Blogging?

    Reflection involves not simply a sequence of ideas, but a consecutive ordering in such a way that each determines the next as its proper outcome, very much like a staircase or the building of a scaffold. The successive portions of the reflective thought grow out of one another and support one another; they do not come and go in a medley. Dewey defined reflection as “the active, persistent and careful consideration of any belief or supposed form of knowledge in light of the grounds that support it and the further conclusions to which it tends” (Dewey, 1933, p. 9). Donald Schon’s (1992) work on reflective practice was influenced by Dewey and highlighted how professionals can use reflection to build professional knowledge and expertise. Schon…

    In order to grow my personal learning network, I plan to do many things this summer here on the island. To begin, I recently created a Twitter account that will allow me to enhance my personal role, such that I will receive the most recent updates, articles, and posts from other credible educational sources. As I have just finished my principal internship, I am confident that I will be able to provide suggestions for next year’s professional development in August. He has addressed some topics at our last staff meeting last week, and also declared that he is open to other possible suggestions, as we have a few months to look into speakers, professionals, or other resources that can help our staff as much as possible. One of the resources I spoke with my principal about today was integrating more technology and social media into our classrooms and district for many reasons.…

    In principle, an amateur student's blog must be accessible in fundamentally the same way as any other content on the Internet; and once an Internet user has accessed that content, he should be able to engage with that content in the same way that he would engage with any other content on the Internet. This seems quite straightforward, to the point that one may well wonder what the real alternative to net neutrality could be. This is a complex question. On the one hand, it can be suggested that net neutrality is the status quo of how most people have experienced the Internet throughout their own lives.…
