Artifact: Kelly's Kozy Korner Blog
Kelly's Kozy Korner is a blog that I created about flexible seating in my classroom. Flexible seating is the ability for students to pick their own seating option on a daily basis. I did a lot of research on how flexible seating works and created a blog about what I learned. This blog allows me to share with other what I have learned and about how it worked for me. In my blog, I talk about how to get started with flexible seating. I also talk about how to let your students pick their own seats. This blog shows that I am able to connect with other people who are also using flexible seating in their classrooms and I can share with them what I have learned.
Creating this blog definitely had me step outside of my comfort zone. Being a newer teacher, I am not usually one to share my ideas with other people as I am still learning myself. While creating this blog I realized that I really might have some tips and tricks that I could share with others even if I am still learning. One thing that I learned from creating this blog is how to use Google Sites. I had never created a website before and this allowed me to do that. Although I was not the quickest at figuring everything out, I think that the website turned out pretty well. In the future, I may explore a different website that would allow me to create a blog. I also think I would spend more time making it more appealing to the readers. I want it to be inviting for people to read.
