Tech Play 1

1). I chose to use blogspot.com because I was able to use it through my Gmail account. I figured this would be the most reasonable to use since I already had a Gmail account and I didn’t have to create any other accounts. I have never used a blog before so this will be my first time blogging. I was so lost while I was attempting to create my blog I had to ask for help because I had no clue what I was doing, but I finally got it together.

A regularly updated website or web page, typically one run by an individual or small group which is written in an informal or conversational style. A glog is the name used to describe a publicly accessible graphical blog. A vlog is a blog in which the postings are primarily in video form. A discussion board is another word for message board which is an Internet site where people can post and read messages, usually on a specific topic or area of interest. All of these different web pages are forms of writing messages or information for others to see publicly.

2). As a learner the blog post allows me to share my ideas and what I have learned with other learners. Using a blog differ from other technology because it allows me to show my work to others without me having to email it to everyone like if I had created a PowerPoint slide. Anyone is able to go to view what I post on my blog, which is amazing.

3). I will not be able to use blogs within any of my lessons because I teach first grade and that’s too advance for first graders.

4). I haven’t seen any obstacles yet but I imagine I will come across a few within these next few weeks of have to use this blog site.
