So this is my first ever post- I seem to be a few years behind my computer-saavy classmates as far as technology goes. However, in this class I hope to learn more about the technologies that I can utilize in my classroom. Middle and High schoolers in today's world LOVE technology, and introducing it into the classroom is a great way to get students excited about learning, especially with a topic like English. I'm hoping to learn in this class effective ways of using this technology, ways that improve my students' learning instead of detracting from it. So, in honor of my lack of blogging skills but my willingness to learn, the site I want to link to in this first post is "Dummies' Guide to Blogger" @ http://bloggerfordummies.blogspot.com/. Something tells me it is going to be a very good friend to me this semester!
