Evidence 1: [|__http://mrcolemer.blogspot.com__]/

Rationale 1: I created a blog in my EDT650 course that I can use to communicate with my students, athletes, and the parents of students. Through my blog I am able to add to the “normal” ways teachers communicate while and also increase my use of technology with my students. On my blog I have posted general information for classes, links to resources for my classes and links to resources for my teams; it is an effective communication tool.

KSD: 6.K.4The teacher recognizes the importance of nonverbal, verbal and media communication techniques.

//Blogging is a relevant media communication tool that I use in my classroom.//

//The blog that I have linked for this standard can be used for direct communication with my school community through blog posts, but can also be used to deliver audiovisual resources to the viewer.//

6.D.2The teacher values many ways in which people seek to communicate and encourages many modes of communication in the classroom.

//I have incorporated blogging as an additional mode in which people may communicate inside and outside of the classroom.//
