My First Blog!
Wow! I never thought I would have my own blog (but, secretly wanted too). I am really excited about this course this summer, for that very reason. I have not had a lot of exposure to blogs, wikis, or podcasts. I am very intrigued by the idea of using these within my classroom. I talked with my students a little about it today, telling them how I would have my own blog on the Internet. I was amazed at how much they knew about them...much more than I did. 2 students talked about how they go to sites and read blogs written by some of their favorite TV personalities. I have never really "felt" like a Digital Immigrant before...until my third graders showed me what it means to be a Digital Native. I asked a few if they would be willing to tutor me this summer (lol)!

This year I have seen a change at my school. I have more students who are computer savvy. I even have 2 second graders that have their own personal computers with internet connections. This is an incredible change from what I have had in the classroom before. This has not been at all typical for my school cliental. The times are changing and it is so exciting!!
I feel better knowing that I am not the only one that have not attempted to blog. I had heard the term; however, I had never sought out in discovering what it was about. I am excited about this course. I can't wait to find out how to use it and incorporate it with my class. I just worry because my kids are so young. But I often think we don't give kids enough credit for what they are capable of doing.
