First Post

Putting my philosophy of education in writing helped me to clarify for myself what my philosophy is. This will act as a guide to my further study. Knowing it will probably change over time encourages continual thought on my philosophy.

Blogging has the potential of allowing students to have equal access to the teacher and their classmates. The more outgoing or confident students will not dominate the conversation. The restrictions many school districts put on blogs make it difficult for teachers and students to express themselves freely.

The area in Creating a Culture for Teaching and Learning that resonated with me is having live video in every classroom. As a teacher I am very aware of the discipline problems faced by many public school teachers. With live video in each classroom, parents can look in and see how their child is behaving. Teachers will also be motivated to present meaningful lessons.
