Reflection on Personal Practice

My professional goal for next year is…

To use a Pbworks wikispace and a class blog to enhance student learning and use parents as partners in education. My goal is for the class blog to be an extension of the classroom to involve parents in learning, activities, and academic progress. The wikispace and blog would be an additional communication tool between the classroom and home. It would be used to inform parents of student’s progress and will allow parent’s to view their child’s work through an online portfolio. It would also be an additional way for parents to stay up-to-date with what is happening in our classroom and for students to extend their learning beyond the ‘four walls’ of the classroom. Before launching the classroom wikispace and blog I will complete the CyberSmart! program with students. This program empowers students to use the Internet safely, responsibly, and effectively.
