The *!?#* internet is down again!!!
I have just been enlightened!!! I am the "go to" person for our district as far as our database and grade books are concerned. I could set up a blog to have teachers or staff members access to leave comments or start discussions with other staff members regarding issues that they may be having with the program. However, this may prove difficult since alot of our teachers don't even read their emails!!! I suppose if I made it enticing like... it's a place to vent your frustrations when the system is not cooperating with you, then I might get some subscribers. Any suggestions??

What???? I didn't know that!
My week three post...see, caught up!!!
First of all, I guess I never said who I was...see still new at this. My name is Stephanie and this is my first blog. I never knew how many people I am close to actually utilize MySpace for professional reasons. For one, my husband, DUH!! Well, I should clarify that, my husband's company. They are an environmental construction company and they just posted their company photos on their site and are working on professional backgrounds for their employees to drum up some business...good idea!!! Also, my sister uses the site. She is a photographer and she has some of her work posted on her space with her work contact info. She does freelance work, so this has gotten her quite a few jobs. So, I'm starting to see the light and how blogging can be used for professional use as well as for personal.

Let's go blogging now...
This is my Week two post...I know it's late, but I will catch up!!!
This is my first attempt ever at blogging. I have read them through a users group at work, but never participated. I always think of MySpace when I hear the word blog. There has always been such a negative aura around MySpace for predatory reasons and with good cause. That's why I stay away, but it has come to my attention that you can use blogging for all kinds of uses besides using it as a journal. Technology is great, there is so much to learn and do...wikis and blogs, podcasts and so much more, where does one start. It is a plethora of knowledge for leisure use and professionally. Joining a technology related group will help with ideas from others on how to incorporate technology into curriculums. Any thoughts???
