Description of Artifact:
This artifact contains a link to my published Teaching Blog. Using Blogger (https://www.blogger.com) I’ve setup the foundations for future postings on educational topics, including tips and tricks in the classroom, ideas on how to incorporate new models or methods, new teaching standard requirements and so much more.
While working on this assignment I found that although there are many other blogs out there, not many have the same ideals, interpretations or applications. I was a little apprehensive about creating yet another blog, however I believe that adding another voice to the mix can yield great benefits for the educational community. As we explore and produce our findings online, we extend the community and ensure that all sides of the argument are addressed in our own way. This allows for refinement and advances in our field that will become fundamental to the growth of our students.
