How to organize classes
blogging, edublogs August 16th, 2008
One of the aspects of my blog I am unsure of is how I should separate my different classes so that they can easily access what they need to. Here are my options:
Catergories – I read the edublogger’s explanation of pages and posts (which was written the day before my wedding!) and got the idea to use Categories. It was helpful to see Mr. Riggans’ Science Blog, which was linked in the post. I saw how he made sure to Categorize each post with the class it applied to.
Pages – I noticed that the Room 838 blog Mrs. Breaux uses pages to separate handouts, and then writes one post with bullet points for each of her classes. I was planning on making handouts available right in the post, so I guess it would take more time to copy a handout in twice. On the other hand, it would take less time to make just one post instead of having to make three posts each day for each of my three preps. Hmm…
For right now, I’m going to go with the categories idea. I like the way it looks, and I like that students can see all of their class posts together. However, if I get energy I may do the handouts on different pages thing. I like that.
Notice that I have chosen to do the things that take up more time…very typical of me.
