For my students, it was also a stress relief and as teens they often needed to write out their struggles. With a public blog they might not do that right away. Mine was private writing. However, the great thing about public writing is that they get comments from all over the world.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03684822465119403296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455994358834550420.post-69333833758050146582011-02-21T09:30:56.792-06:002011-02-21T09:30:56.792-06:00Ellen, I really like Jeff Galloway's method of...Ellen, I really like Jeff Galloway's method of training.

I'd really like to run most of it just so I can say I actually ran it. Who wants to say "Yeah, I WALKED a 5k this past weekend". NOT ME! ! ! :-)Ellen Holleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15160617464235182274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455994358834550420.post-78857474588189263732011-02-20T18:00:31.325-06:002011-02-20T18:00:31.325-06:00Goooo Ellen!

The nice thing about these types of races is that you can walk too, don't feel pressured to run the whole thing. I am running my 2nd 1/2 marathon in April. I saw lots of people walking it last year. Still an accomplishment and you are so right, exercise will make you a better teacher!!Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01782640689008510269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455994358834550420.post-7510150428909902162011-02-20T14:40:49.961-06:002011-02-20T14:40:49.961-06:00Kudos to you!

Their posts can be completely hidden or public. This allows you to talk about classes, even using names, in a much more safe way than where everyone can see that information. We use it at my school to have our kids talk about the books they're reading. It's set up a bit more like a discussion board, but I've heard a lot of people use it with success.Brian Wyzlichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10445603164439078200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3455994358834550420.post-85322704990501271462011-02-13T09:49:03.772-06:002011-02-13T09:49:03.772-06:00Ok, I can't resist a challenge!
