Thanks for coming to my blog! My name is Elizabeth Wiseman. I am currently a first grade teacher participating in my Master's program of Instructional Design and Technology. I have always had a passion for the use of technology, personally and professionally. I have continued to educate myself on the continuous growth of technology and how it can be incorporated into education for the benefit of learners. I have created mock online courses, become familiar with learning environments, built collaborative assignments, and made connections from this program to my personal life and future goals. I love how I continue to grow in knowledge and cannot wait to share this knowledge with those willing to listen (or read :)). I hope you I can spark thoughts and ideas your way as you review my weekly blogs!

HOW CAN BLOGGING BE INCORPORATED INTO THE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT TO EXPAND THE KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS OF LEARNERS?       Blogs have been around for many years. They have been used to foster a space for collaboration and connect on ideas, and beliefs of users while supporting reflection and purposeful discussion (Sun & Chang, 2012). Blogging has never been an activity that I have ever practiced, but through my research, I can see why many may find it appealing to do. Whether someone is writing and publishing a blog, or participating as a commentator, there are skills that can be gained from doing either.  LANGUAGE SKILLS Blogging is a form of communication. When one blogs they are sharing their personal thoughts and ideas in a way where others are able to read and connect. To be able to connect in a way that is beneficial, users hone in on language skills to be able to have successful collaboration. Users are able to express themselves as individuals, be more tho...
