I am really pleased to be working in this collaborative group today as part of our professional development. I hardly have an opportunity to meet with teachers who have a similar love for integrating technology in their instructional repetoire.

This session will focus on creating reflective blogs and collaboration. One of the most difficult aspects of teaching is the feeling of isolation, particularly when you are not sure that you are being as effective as you would like to be. Little time is available to consult with one's colleagues about a difficult student, a persistent management problem, or a lesson disaster. How often do we get to celebrate with other teachers when a lesson has been a complete success?

Blogging has superseeded the journaling process, that "Dear Diary" moment that we as reflective practioners should have when we assess the instructonal impact that we had on our students every day.
