Not a Natural Blog(ger)

Well, to prove the title correct my first attempt today to post an update failed. This is round two.

So, in the last year I have not blogged. Writing and reading for pleasure are luxuries that unfortunately I limit when I am busy. This past school year was the busiest I have yet encountered. Every year it seems that life gets more hectic both in and out of the classroom. That is my excuse and I am sticking with it.

This summer I will be presenting several workshops about blogging and the use of this tool (and other online communication tools) in the classroom. Despite my lack of use in the last year (which by the way was a backslide from the previous year) I know the power and importance of utilizing the web.

I am resolving to work this summer to make sure that I walk the talk and use the technology that is available to best serve my students. To that end I am spending a portion of my summer planning and organizing to use Blogs and Wikis in several of my classes. Wish me luck.
