Why are we using a blog in school? Aren't those like diaries? Aren't they only for people who are trying to be famous?
So, to put it simply - blogging helps reach our educational goals. Blogging will provide us with a line of communication outside of the classroom. Especially for you all, blogging is great because you can work on it any time, in any place with an Internet-enabled computer. It is my hope that blogging will motivate you all to become invested in your own education. Blogging also will (hopefully) get you all to read, write and enjoy it! We will use this tool to discuss classroom assignments and relevant issues.
This blog is different from other blogs you may have encountered. We are all in this together - so we will all be "authors" of this blog! That means, when you run across something interesting that you want to share with the class that relates to something that we are learning, you will have the ability to do so on our class blog! "With great power comes great responsibility." Each of you will be expected to contribute to our learning community. I am confident that this will be a great semester! Let the learning begin! :)
