Tool 2: Using PLNs

I think as i'm getting more aquainted to this whole blogging thing, I'm starting to warm up to it. I've been browsing through other people's blogs and seeing how this could be a very useful tool in the whole teaching/learning process. Blogging is a great way for teachers to share resources. Especially now looking at some of my other colleague's blogs and how much more familiar they are with technology than I am, I'm realizing that I there will be a lot of useful resources at my fingertips. It will be really nice for teachers to blog about lessons and ideas and to recieve feedback from other teachers. This could break down a lot of walls between teachers when it comes to sharing information, thoughts, resources, or ideas. I think it's great, and I'm now pretty excited about it!

I'm scared of being a "lurker"...for some reason that word has a very scary conotation to me. I'm going to have to make a conscious effort to contribute to other people's blogs. I guess I'll start now :)

Starting my blog

Well I guess it's time to get back to work! I've been enjoying my summer so much I almost forgot all about this inservice. My summer has been filled with sleep, sleep, and more sleep. It's been amazing! So I haven't really had a lot of time on my hands to think about this thing.

I had a little bit of anxiety about starting this blog because I couldn't figure out the title. I guess as I get more involved in the whole blogging process, a more creative title will come to me. Until then, my boring one will have to do.
