My ideas for blogging are endless. However, one of my biggest challenge of blogging is timing. Blogging more than once a week is definitely challenging in the life of a mother, student, teacher, and the many other hats I wear throughout the week. I have managed to blog at least twice and sometimes three times a week, but it is not always the easiest. I am an advocate of play, conversations, personal interactions, and not being "plugged in" as we say in my house. So trying to be the best role model I can, I save blogging for late nights and interactions with my children for the daytime and evening. I am hoping to find a happy medium as I move on with this blogging experience. What is your biggest challenge of the blogging experience?

A Blogging Challenge
A few weeks ago I was new to the blogging world. It now doesn't seem quite as foreign, and I am hoping to incorporate a classroom blog next year. I see the added value of using it to create a digital footprint of what is going on in the classroom. Everyone is so connected nowadays that I can see my parent's getting into it. I recently shared three Animoto videos that I created with the families of my student's. The appreciation and response was overwhelming rewarding. I even received an email from an aunt of one of my student's that lives in Florida because the videos were shared with her. It was such a powerful reminder of how technology can build on our student's learning experience in the classroom. Now I just need to find out the best way to keep my student's digital footprint protected in order to make the experience the most valuable for my classroom community.

Amanda, I agree that it is also timing when it comes to blogging. I have great ideas that pop in my head throughout the day but then when its time for me to sit down and blog I get writer's block. I think its great you are an example to your children and advocate playing and interacting with them. They will allows remember those times together. I think its just one of those things that eventually there will be a solution. I wish I had one for you. Best wishes to you!
