Getting started on this blog was a huge challenge. I tend to be a perfectionist, and therefore want my blog to be perfect. Unfortunately, as I began this project, I wasn't sure what perfection looked like. After testing out several of the different blog sites recommended, I decided on blogger, mainly because the web address I wanted was available. This summer, my profession changed slightly as I moved out of the general education classroom and into a role coaching teachers as they seek to effectively integrate technology into their classrooms. Technology is my passion, and with my new career path, I knew that my blog name needed to include technology. After trying several web addresses, I decided on techteachingeveryday. It perfectly encompasses my professional role, which with a blog, might allow me to support personalized student learning through teacher development, beyond the walls of my 2 elementary campuses.
Next, I evaluated the different templates available, and decided on a photograph background. Technology today has eliminated barriers in learning, meaning that student learning is no longer limited to 4 walls of a classroom. Effectively implemented technology allows students to easily access information to answer their own questions. Devices today offer students fluctuation in where and how they acquire new information. Technology can also provide multiple platforms for students to demonstrate knowledge acquired. Finally, the internet can also provide a larger audience, allowing students to feel more empowered and make learning more meaningful. The photograph is a picture of a modern learning environment. The photograph, like the learning environment, will change frequently.
Although I struggled in the beginning to design a blog, eventually, it all came together, and in my opinion, it perfectly represents my voice.
