Personal Reflections (FS 4, 5, and 6)
            My personal reflections in these three (3) fields in Field Study as part of the teaching profession is that it gives me the strength to listen attentively to the teachers I have observed in order to capture all the needed skills of a teacher. These field studies also give me the skill to think comprehensively and analytically. I was also able to communicate with other people specifically the teachers as well as the teachers of Fatima National High School who helps me in making this one of a kind success and experience.  Without them, I cannot learn many things that will help me what to do and what should be the proper things to do in a school environment. I am very thankful that these FS 4, 5, and 6 guides me in pursuing my dreams in becoming a very good teacher in the future. Thank you and Magandang Gensan!!!
What is class blogmeister?
Is a blogging tool developed by David Warlick for teachers to promote the development of effective communication skills in students? It offers a much safer environment for primary aged students than many blog tools. It allows the teacher to evaluate, comment on, and finally publish students' blog articles in a controlled environment. Students' articles and readers' comments do not go public until the teacher has reviewed and approved them, thus assuring the quality and appropriateness of student publications before they go live. is one of several blogging engines that have been developed specifically for classroom use. You are welcome to explore the writings of teachers and students alike.sss
How to use?
They can then set up blogging accounts for their students, for which the teacher maintains publishing control. Publisher: Landmark Project
How to apply as an educational webtool?
It allows the teacher to evaluate, comment on, and finally publish students' blog articles in a controlled environment. Students' articles and readers' comments do not go public until the teacher has reviewed and approved them, thus assuring the quality and appropriateness of student publications before they go live. They are also untraceable and cannot be found using search engines. If users want to broaden their audience perhaps Blogger, or Edublogs may be better suited for this purpose. The students will post their activity in school to this blog account so that the teacher will check it technically and easily.
What is the importance if class blogmeister?
One particular strength is that the students have their own pages within the class blog and the children love having their own blogs. The teacher still has the final say in what is published through the approval process. There is also an option to have all pieces of work in the same assignment posted together on one page as well as on individual blogs. There are several to choose from but not so many that they get distracted and spend too much time on it. Pictures, slideshows, videos, podcasts etc can be embedded. I find it useful that whenever a blog post or comment is sent to the teacher for approval the teacher receives notification by e-mail.
