Creating another blog actually caused a few problems, that though they were a pain this time around helped illuminate a few issues concerning blogs. The main problem was that my log-in to Word Press (my favorite blog tool) took me to the blog my wife uses for her class. Unfortunately we did not discover this until I had reset the password and noticed that there seem to be two administrators for one blog.  For the life of me I did not know we had set it up this way. As our school is not totally on line she was understandably stressed at the thought that her students might not be able to access the blog.

That problem resolved it was on to creating a new account under a new email…which ment creating a POP account so that I don’t have to check a thousand different emails.

The up side to all of this, readings from this week included, is that I have really been experiencing things from the student perspective. This, in my opinion is one of the best ways to make sure you are an effective teacher. Our superintendent had to come around to the whole school today and ask everyone to back off a little as many teachers were overloading students. This is so easy to do, especially when you forget that they have seven other classes besides your own.
