I am so glad that one of the discovery exercises for this class was to explore the Learning 2.0 Sandbox.
I found it to be an extremely useful resource as it is a place to go for cutting edge ideas I can use in my classrooom, collaboration with other tech savvy educators, and professional development to continue my journey as a life long learner.
I added my own personal experiences with Blogger in the blogging section of the sandbox. I felt it was important to pass on my experiences with Blogger as it has dramatically affected student motivation and parent communication in my classroom this year.

For me, Blogs seem to have the same effect that email had for my 7th graders. Once their parents had signed on, they got grades every 2 weeks and 2X a week, updates on activities and due dates in class. At the time, it was really revolutionary. I think blogs have a lot more flexibility and visual appeal and approve of anything that makes communication easier.
