This year, I'll be sure to post pictures on Flickr! Sharing cultural information is one of the great parts about using social media! 2008-02-11T01:31:21.306+01:00 2008-02-11T01:31:21.306+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=MaryH&conv=1232500&comment_id=24023297 MaryH Hi Illya, Thank you for sharing your photos with us! Flickr gives us a great opportunity to share our special celebrations from around the world, and it would be really interesting to share cultural information through images in this way. In fact, I hope I can share some photos with you about special traditions in my hometown too!

Connecting, sharing, and building upon each other's ideas is what it is all about! 2008-01-29T15:12:25.488+01:00 2008-01-29T15:12:25.488+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=MaryH&conv=1186223&comment_id=23119256 Mary H Thanks for sharing your personal reflections about blogging. It seems that many of you who have blogged with students mentioned that you would like to find ways to motivate students to participate more, and to find new and interesting things to do with a blog. During our session, we'll cover these topics, especially during Week Three. As Dennis mentioned, he and Carla Arena collaborated through a blog and had fantastic results. There are many ways to involve other people or to use online tools to "spice" up your blog! I have been blogging since about 2006. Like Dorinda mentioned, it is difficult to find the time to read, write, and reflect! Dorinda and I co-author a blog about trying to raise our children bilingually, and although I want to write more about this topic, it is hard to find the time. I most consistently blog on my personal blog and my professional development blog. Because of their reflective nature, blogs are well suited for educational purposes. Finally, this past year, I started blogging with a group of students and we had a great time. Sara wrote that blogs could be used to "make my classes more interactive, relevant, creative and real." Yes, exactly! Looking forward to more personal reflections about blogging! 2008-01-14T22:48:47.644+01:00 2008-01-14T22:48:47.644+01:00 http://www.cocomment.com/sidebar?object=people&context=explore&mode=detail&id=MaryH&conv=1102947&comment_id=22567050 MaryH hello world 2007-12-16T10:30:12.201+01:00 2007-12-16T10:30:12.201+01:00
