Connecting the Lonely Profession Reflection

Connecting the Lonely Profession

This article is talking about how teachers are behind closed doors most of the time. They do not interact with all of their colleagues on a daily basis, but rather just with their students.Teachers that leave this profession say that isolation is one of their reasons. With all of this new technology, teachers are able to communicate on the internet through blogs and other sources to exchange thoughts and ideas. Teachers themselves are always learning, and they do this by communicating with other teachers. Teachers are collaborating projects for their students. Teachers and students are not connecting to blogs to post and create ideas for everyone. Students are all connected and can share their own ideas online and outside of the classroom. And other teachers across the nation can have access to these blogs to use in their own classroom and even share their own ideas on how to improve it. Students love using the internet, they get invested in it. It is an every day thing for them so why not utilize it in our own classrooms?
