“One of the reasons we fear these technologies is because we as teachers don’t yet understand them or use them. But the reality is that our students already do. It’s imperative that we be able to teach our kids how to use the tools effectively and appropriately because right now they have no models to follow.”~ Will Richardson

I should have eaten that other egg my husband made me this morning.
Good Morning! This should be an interesting morning learning to set up a blog.
Why the name "blog", if you become a blogger someone might mistake you as a boogger!
Early Bird Blogs, with a cup of coffee, would be more fun! 10 minutes to go!
I drank a quart of water this morning!
Hi Jim,
Thanks for the opportunity to learn more about blogs.
HI JIM!!! How's it going in there? Are they giving you a hard time? I'm sitting out here in the hallway like the kid who got sent to the principal's office :)
Thanks again for sharing your wonderful gifts with all of us in Adult Education.
