Since school began this year, I have maintained a blog for the parents of my students that provides a brief summary of what we do in class each day. I never get comments, but I get lots of hits daily. The first week of October I attended and presented at our state edtech conference. The keynote speaker was David Warlick, and he really turned me on to the power of Web 2.0 and its educational implications. I reached the conclusion that I needed to begin a new separate personal blog to reflect on my own learning as an educator. I am convinced that the educational needs of our students today are changing rapidly, and the legislative/education machinery is not keeping up! I’m excited about the opportunities Web 2.0 offers to locate and communicate with like-minded educators. I just discovered Women of Web 2.0, and I’m looking forward to all that I will learn through these networking opportunities!

Welcome to blogging —
I know you will enjoy it and your parents will truly enjoy the communication it brings.
David’s a wonderful man who gets us out of our “comfort” zone and into a effective “learning” zone for our students!!
