An introduction to this blog.

This blog is a prototype. A chance to experiment with a future teaching tool.

There are several ways a blog could be used to teach a course. The possibilities are especially interesting when teaching a personally relevent subject such as psychology.

A teacher could use a blog as a tool, a way to interact with students.

A teacher could also use blogs to help a student interact with the class, and the material.

The student could keep an individual blog as a portfolio as place of personal introspection.

As a TA, a blog as an instructional tool would be much more valuable. A TA could post information and reminders. More importantly, there could be conversations about upcoming tests, etc.

I am super excited!
