module 2

My first impression on looking at examples of others' blogs was confusion at the vast array of them. Many seem to be just lists of points that I didn't find particularly useful. However I can see that blogging could be a useful tool for students to share ideas/questions/reflections with me and classmates. It is also a  helpful way for students to practise their writing and expression skills.
The section on privacy was reassuring as I do have some concerns with regrd to being on call 24-7 and privacy.  I am quite excited about being able to add images to make my work more creative and egaging. A lot of what I viewed was "too American" to be useful to me but I realise there is much more to be explored.

module 1

Hi My name is Wilma Fisher. I teach History across the curriculum from Year7 to Year 12. My great passion is for Modern History. I hope the Web 2.0 course will
enable me to access the enormous range of historical material available on the net and be able to create more exciting and relevant ways to assist my students.  As an older teacher I feel rather intimidated by the technology and would like to be more confident in its use.  Module 1 gave a clear introduction to what a blog is and took such clear steps that it made me think I would be able to benefit from it.
