Looking further into blogging was a plus. I found blogs related to my current work that were very interesting and even had some helpful hints that I could use. Reading other blogs assisted me with my decisions of how to incorporate blogging in my classes. I do have some ideas but I am not sure if I would use blogging directly or just have the students to blog.
Changing roles from classroom teaching to online can be a challenge. I thought my greatest challenge was going to be relationship building with my students. I learned from last semester that building online relationships is not hard at all. Adding a picture to introduction blogs puts a face to the name, and hearing voices in the live classroom compliments the written introduction.
Time to prepare to facilitate I will let you all know how it turns out. Peace
