first blog ever

I thought blogs were online journals, so I never wrote one since I like my privacy. I never thought of it as a learning tool. I'm looking forward to the new knowlege I will gain by blogging. It seems to be an effective tool for interacting with students in a classroom setting. The students are communicating, typing, getting more net savvy, and hopefully having a bit of fun too! If I can get a child to be excited about writing by simply allowing them to blog then it's well worth it.
