Time to Give Thanks...

Okay, I'm thankful for technology.

Not just because I'm a tech. coach.
Not just because this blog I host.
Not just because it saves me time.
Not just because I make it mine.

I'm thankful for the time I save.
I'm thankful for the org. I crave.
I'm thanful for the speed and ease
of communiation tracks it leaves.

Teaching has changed more than I thought
Teaching could change the older I got.
Which leaves me to wonder how much more
Technology will push me through yet another door.

So, with all this time I now call mine
I work on my tablet instead of dine
on turkey and fixins, but that's fine.
More time, more work: where do I sign?

Hi, Nicole.

Your E102's are making such good use of your/their blog. You must be so proud and thankful for them, too. I've been tempted to leave a comment complimenting them on the use of the blog but it's probably better they feel it is their space for their own conversations. What do you think?

I've looked at other teacher blogs and feel, with your E102 blog, there is much more collaboration present than there would be should they simply respond to a prompt posed by a teacher.


I'm wondering if a class wiki might be a next step to consider since these students seem to be working so well together and are very willing to help one another with their questions. We can talk more on this.

Thank you so much for brining your students into the world of blogging!
