1. What two strategies did you choose and why? I tried Ping-O-Matic, so I will see how it goes. I was interested in seeing how many people are exposed to my website. I had never heard of this before the night we all got together. I am also putting my site on Facebook for friends and family to visit. I have quite a few friends that are teachers or work with kids, so this might be a good opportunity for them to use this.
  2. How useful was this project to your overall professional development as an educator? I think this is a wonderful tool to help get information out to a wide audience. I like the input of a blog for teacher to teacher use. At the beginning of the school year the 7th grade math teachers put together a website to help other teachers teach math during remediation time. I think a blog would be a much better tool to get feedback for all the teachers of what is difficult for the students or how we might need to work extra hard on a skill. The blog would let all of the math teachers see how all the others are dealing with skills across the county. I would love to use this in a class setting and I will work on ethical and logistical issues to try to get this in the classroom.
