Professional Blog

It is hoped that at the conclusion of your university experience that you will have acquired skills in your subject areas and skills relating to how to communicate these skills to your students. An important part of any job search involves being able to put your best foot forward, and present what you have learned to any potential employer. Up until a short time ago that would have involved building a resume'. We are going to substitute a professional blog in the place of a resume'. Your professional blog will work toward the same goal. i.e., allowing you to communicate to a prospective employer why you would be a valuable addition to their school.

Dr. Strange has created a professional blog that illustrates what should be in the blog. Click here to see a professional blog This is a sample.

Use the following naming scheme: if your name is Sally Jones the URL for your professional blog must be

sjonesedm310spring2009pb.blogspot.com

In other words use the same name as your class blog except add "pb" after the "....spring2009" and before "...blogspot.com"

We will discuss this in class.
