"My New 1:1 Class.. Sort of."

I recently followed a blog titled "Crazy Teaching" because I'll probably be a "crazy" teacher. The first post that jumped out to me was the "1:1 class.. sort of" mostly because I end a lot of sentences with "sort of." The author writes that she used to teach a strictly 1:1, technology based classroom but recently she has gone back to the traditional class. Being as she is tech-savvy, she was interested in finding ways to use technology in her classroom everyday. The first activity she points out is blogging, like in this class. In highschool, most of my English classes required me to write (in a notebook) a "blog" or a journal post at the beginning of class everyday to get my ready for the lesson. I really liked that. It was an easy grade and it gave me a chance to write about how I feel about a certain topic. In my technology class, the teacher required us to do the same thing, but online on a blog. That is what this teacher's blog proposes. I do like that idea. I might actually use that in my classroom if computers are readily available. The only problem is I won't be teaching in a computer lab so it will depend on the availability. Otherwise, I will just have them write on paper. But hey, using the computer would save paper (which is never a bad thing.)
