Although I have often been known as the "tech-savvy" teacher in the schools I have found myself privileged to work, I have rarely felt the need to blog. However, this summer a friend of mine, well, quite a few friends actually, began blogging. When I find myself with time to surf- in between my frequent Facebook and email log ins- I have actually really enjoyed reading about the things that they find relevant in their lives. With education constantly changing, I thought that blogging would be a great way for me to focus on the positive changes that are taking place, instead of the negative. As with all change, things often seem worse when they are first introduced than when they are actually implemented. Currently educating the lives of seventh grade students at my present location, I know that public schools in Tennessee are about to undergo more change in one year than they have seen in ten all together, thanks to the Raise to the Top funds we are receiving from Obama's colleagues in Washington...and I can't wait.
Well, I hope people will check back often and leave messages on their thoughts and any knowledge they may want to share so that this can be more interactive than the website I maintain with my students! Happy Educating!!!
