Introduction

This is the beginning of a learning journey with a group of high school students who are enrolled in the Teacher Cadet program. The Teacher Cadet program is an innovative approach designed to attract talented young people to the teaching profession through a challenging introduction to teaching.  These students are now having their beginning class to learn all about the program. Next semester they will be going out to elementary schools to work with children. They will be under the supervision of the classroom teacher.

Last Friday I had a short time to meet with the class and tell them about weblogs. We plan to have each student blog their experiences. This gives those of you reading this blog the opportunity to mentor students who wish to pursue teaching as a career!

Two of the students in the class attended elementary school at J.H. House. They were in my technology classes. It was great to see them again!

I used A School of Voices to demo what a blog looks like. Katie made a comment on the blog as others watched. One or two in this group knew about blogs. Their friends had one.

Time was really short for the first session so I'm looking forward to going back tomorrow.
Each student will have a computer and they will be making their first posts. I'll add those links and this blogging experience will take off. This is going to be a good experience.I think these students' blogging about what they are thinking and learning will help us learn more on how to encourage, support and keep our "future teachers". I think they will come up with some great ideas for using blogs in their classrooms!

I really like this post. When we first started this program everyone was very excited to do this and I think that the fact we are able to do the blogs is great.

I think that the teacher cadet program is very interesting in the way it is trying to prepare you for the hands on activity that we will face in the next semester.We will have to be ready next semester when we go over to the elementary school, we cant be so unprepared that we dont know anything that we are doing because that would be very unprofessional. I think that the program is very useful and informative in what it is preparing us for.

Have you ever considered about including a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and everything. Nevertheless imagine if you added some great images or videos to give your posts more, "pop"! Your content is excellent but with images and clips, this website could undeniably be one of the most beneficial in its niche. Good blog!

I was wondering if you ever thought of changing the page layout of your site? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say. But maybe you could a little more in the way of content so people could connect with it better. Youve got an awful lot of text for only having 1 or 2 images. Maybe you could space it out better?

Hey just wanted to give you a quick heads up. The words in your article seem to be running off the screen in Internet explorer. I'm not sure if this is a format issue or something to do with browser compatibility but I thought I'd post to let you know. The design look great though! Hope you get the problem resolved soon. Many thanks

Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this website. It's simple, yet effective. A lot of times it's challenging to get that "perfect balance" between usability and visual appeal. I must say you've done a great job with this. Additionally, the blog loads very quick for me on Internet explorer. Exceptional Blog!

Hi there just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly. I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I've tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.
