The blogging process for Practicum could be improved if we only had one blog for all of practicum. It became very confusing with multiple blogs, and it would be much easier if we had to post everything to the same place. We could just have separate tags for Technology Integration, CIA, and in the schools (if we posted anything for that). Additionally, I believe it would be better to post our TK20 things to the blogs instead of using TK20, since we asked each of you and none of the teachers for practicum seem to like TK20. Lastly, I would use the blogs and the wikis for more assignments so we wouldn't have to be wasting so much paper.
The first website I visited was the New York Times Website. I looked at the archive like it talked about in the chapter, and I was underwhelmed. Most of the articles were behind a paywall, so that was inconvenient. However, I was surprised  and i did like that the article archive did go back over 150 years ago to 1851. The second site I went to was Wes Fryers wiki. It was interesting to see his actual wiki. I however did not find it very easy to navigate and I didn't really understand what materials were supposed to be available, but I think that with more time I would like it as a supplement to his ebook. The last site I looked at was Moodle. Moodle is a Learning Management system that can be used as a collaborative class blog, but I believe that a wiki would be easier for both the teacher and the students to use and understand, but I like that I know know of an alternative to wikis in case the site goes down or something goes wrong.
