Teaching
In order to be a good student, you must have the proper tools along with hard work and determination. In order to be a good teacher, you must create an environment in which your students can thrive in. As teachers, it is our job to teach. As educators, it is our job to learn, and pass our acquired knowledge on. If you give someone an inch, they will take a mile; but if you give someone nothing, what will they take then? At what point should we as teachers expect the students to teach themselves? Never! It is our job to plant seeds of knowledge in them, and allow them to flourish.

Ch 3 Blogging
Blogging is a great way to communicate your thoughts with the world. Will Richardson discusses how blogging can be beneficial in a classroom setting. As a future teacher, I would like to use blogging in my class. One great example in the book is giving students a provocative question at the beginning of the week and having them blog on it several times through out the week. They can build their responses based on their classmates comments and responses. At the end of the week their is a wealth of responses and opinions to that one question and this provides an excellent source for class discussion.
