Blogging

I like to blog and have been blogging in my personal life for over a year and enjoy the freedom that it gives me to just write my thoughts. As I have been reading through the Richardson book, I have noticed so many different thoughts of what blogging is really meant to be.

While I know others have been writing about that, I think the item in the book is this quote, "They develop hypertext minds. They leap around. It's as though their cognitive structures were parallel, not seuential" (Prensky, 2001a). I think this is key to me being a teacher in this new generation. I have to realize that they do not think in the linear way that I was thought in and the way that I teach in. I think that this is one of my biggest struggles in the world of technology today. I am so much not like the generation of today.

Even though, I am not that much older than my students, I feel generations older when it comes to the way that teaching was and is becoming.

I look forward to reading more of Richardson's book and learning from this.
