My Blog Page

Setting up my blog page was a simple step-by-step. As a future teacher the blog.com would be part of my class curriculum in posting journals from all subject areas. Maybe two journals per subject and for each quarter. The students have the option of selecting which topic to post. However, this will not take place unless the parents or legal guardians agree to the activity and signing an agreement and permission slip authorizing their child to participate. In case some do not agree, the student will have to type its journal using the Microsoft document to be read by the class and share comments. The blog is another way of interacting with parents and legal guardians and most importantly viewing their child's work online.

Web Flow Chart Evaluation

The three web sites are Mindmeister, Mind 42 and Gliffy. Out of the three web flow chart I rated Mind Meister - 9, Gliffy - 8 and Mind forty-two - 7. The Mind 42 was shared by the group that it was difficult to work with. It seems challenging based on the group sharing. The Gliffy website is satisfactory and easier to work with. Now as for Mindmeister the layout chart was different and an attention getter. I would still try and be familiar with Mind42 and bring up its ratings so I would give my students choices. The three web sites are great tools for students to utilize for creating flow chart in brainstorming ideas for language arts writing essays, planning group projects, family tree etc. The students can work on it at home or anywhere they have access to the Internet, not just at school.
