First Post

For the past few years, I have heard "read my blog" or have read "you can post to my blog," and I have thought, "What is a blog? Do I really want to do it?" B-l-o-g sounds painful, like most new things. If that were not enough to intimidate me, my media specialist at school told me that I needed to include more technology projects for my students. She appreciated the projects I did require, but... (Thanks a lot, Ms. Debbie, and I do mean that.) SO, here I am, learning how to blog. Watch out world!

I signed up for Create Your Own Podcast and Publish It to the Internet with Mr. Bob Wakeman. Sure enough, he talked about blogs and encouraged our group to attend his blogging workshop on June 16. So, last week, I learned how to create a podcast (I thought I liked a microphone until it was stuck to my head, and I learned I didn't speak as loudly as I thought. Before the end of the session, I was beltin' out tunes like a rockstar...just kidding). Now, I'm in this workshop irritating Mr. Wakeman with my "enthusiasm" to go,go, go. He said that teachers make the worst students...

I'm anticipating what I can accomplish with this skill and how I can use this to communicate better with my parents and students. If they thought I talked a lot before this, bum...bum...bum... (evil laugh included).
