Using blogs in K-12 classrooms

Over the past three weeks, I have experienced blogging for the first time. In the beginning, I really didn't like the idea, but I have grown to like it over the prior weeks. Blogging is a great way for one to express their feelings. I know sometimes it is easier for one to write things down rather than talking about them. When blogging, you are also able to see others' thoughts on your particular subject.
I believe blogging could be a great thing for more secondary education rather than elementary education. At this age, children are able to gather their thoughts and talk about them. Blogging could be a great way for students to see what their peers have to say about certain subjects.

Changing my major...

Lately, I have been considering chaning my major from Secondary Education and Mathematics to either Social Work or Accounting. My math classes have beening really killing me, and now I am double thinking the whole idea. I love working with teenage children thats why I had decided to do Secondary Education. I went the Career Services Department and talked with one of the advisors there. She informed me that I should rethink my major; so I can actually take classes that I enjoy. I have really been checking out the Occupational Outlook Handbook website to check out some new careers!

My Hectic Morning

Goodmorning,
The day has just started, and it's already been hectic! I over slept this morning and missed my 8:00 am Statistics class. Plus, I had to rush to my next class. It seem as if I am just now able to sit down and take a breath. Hopefully, the day can only get better!

New Job!!!

I am really excited today because this week I start a new job! I have been hired for the position of a receptionist at H&R Block. It's only seasonal, but I am really looking foward to working. I have met my co-workers, and they all seem to be a fun crowd to work around. I love being able to enjoy going to work rather than dreading it.
