Why Blog?????
I have found blogging to be a fantastic interactive way to reflect on experineces. I was able to capture the entirety of my trip, add in any photos and write about all the things that i was feeling and thinking. I would recommend it to any educational experience and any subject manner. It has the potential to enhance students' ability to recognise thoughts, feeelings and attitudes which can help them identify behaviour changes, learn of things that make them happy or things they need to work on as an indivdual. Once i got the hang of how to blog it was a very time efficient tool and user friendly. All things associated with blogging have been positive and enjoyable which are all aspects a teacher wants in a classroom and educational setting.

I hope you get to use blogging when you are out teaching soon! Nice work Paige you went through a variety of emotions throughout the trip. One thing I hope you can walk away with is to try and be in the moment and enjoin gut hear and now. I noticed that your worry about missing family etc took away from some the potential positive time around camp. Making the most of the here and now is challenging but worth working towards in our own personal psychology!
