Thanks Bud!

Wilber, the author of last week’s readings, provided a list of valuable blogs and wikis to check out.  The one I chose to explore was Bud the Teacher's Wiki.  On Bud's wiki he had a list of links going off in all different directions.  For instance, he has one that has instructions for creating an acceptable blog use policy.  Not only does he list things that he thinks belong on the list, but also summons the help of other teachers.  He solicits answers to his questions and is open to suggestions.  I think as teachers we must work with one another and collaborate to become better at our jobs, not only in the school but on the internet as well.  Also with this collaboration, as a future teacher I find it reassuring that I am able to find samples of policies I might need to make.  In addition to policies I think with the internet being readily available it will be easier to find rubrics for projects or even ideas for incorporating various things into the classroom.  Bud's wiki had many other links as well that I'm sure would lead to many more ideas!
