Top Ten and Blogs

I couldn't chose one. So here are two different links, the first one I love that it is on Teacher Tube (Top Ten list). This is a video I actually used in a presentation in my undergrad program. The second one is one I would love to show parents of students to help them better understand blogs. It is simple, and the way the video is done makes it engaging.

Podcast visit

Grammar Girl is a great podcast to subscribe to! It is free and each podcast is short, but resourceful. I love the concept of this podcast-"Quick and dirty tips for writing better." This is for sure a podcast I could use an in my high school English classes. The last one I listened to was about capitalizing. Such a quick, helpful tool. I do wish there were visuals with this podcast. I feel as though it could be helpful to see some of the grammar rules in front of me. But the website for the podcast does have visual resources.

Introduction

Hello! My name is Mrs. Lynch and I graduated from UNO this past year and am now attending Peru to receive a Masters in my career that I love--EDUCATION! Welcome to my blog, hope you find it insightful and helpful! 

I am relatively new to blogging, but so far LOVE it. I started a more personal one to keep family and friends updated on my and my husbands move to the east coast. And update it weekly!

And I am so excited to learn new ways to integrate blogging into the classroom. I have no experience with blogging in the educational setting, but think it could be used as a very positive discussion tool.
