Week 7

Mr.Avery's Blog

Mr. Avery's blog was very engaging and incorporated videos, facts, memes, visuals, etc.  I appreciated that his blog was very dynamic.  Having a blog that incorporates many mediums engages students who might be reading this blog.  Also for him to include a how to leave a comment video on the right suggests this openness to communicate.  This encouragement of conversation helps this blog to be interactive.  In one of his posts, he also tracked other classrooms of which he had formed professional relationships with the teachers. Together, they tackled a project that was hosted by a third party, but this meant a collaboration with teachers from all parts of the world.  It was a sharing of currency that related to this math class while exploring how each currency is used in different cultures.  This project seemed so well thought to incorporate these two topics with a world aspect so that students could grow from their interactions. Mr. Avery also placed reflective questions after each blog to challenge the reader.  Overall, his blog models one that I would like to have of my own.
