An Introduction to blogging
The internet provides a world of information and possibilities in the education realm. It can be, however, over whelming. Many bloggers spend hours ranting about their cats, their options on random subjects, and all sorts of other things that very few people care about.
What then, is the purpose of an educators blog? Why add one more blog out there to the ‘pipes and tubes’ of the internet?
This blog will (hopefully) be useful, engaging, and slightly entertaining. Specifically, it will:
Provide students and parents with access to static classroom data like PowerPoints, home work assignments, extra credit assignments, YouTube links, Podcasts, a forum for current affairs, parent communication, Senior announcements, and the ability to contact students via RSS and SMS txt messaging.
We’ll see how this experiment works!
