Hello World,

I've tried blogging a few times but each time I have fizzled out and not kept up with it. I'm not sure if life gets in the way or just simply that it wasn't really a priority for me. Three and half years ago I attended a blogging session by Rob Bobeldyk from Calvin College and was saw the value in education. Three years ago I had him come speak to our school about the advantages of blogging and how it can be a great tool in the classroom. I don't know that we have had teachers latch on to the idea since that time. I am not in the classroom but am in a position where I should be leading the way. It is time for me to lead by example and catch up to my peers.

I once worried about typos, privacy, and who the heck really cares about what I write. I don't know who will read this, nor will that be a consideration in my blogging experience. My goal is to familiarize myself with the plethora of web2.0 tools out here and change the way I live by using them in a way that helps me better understand the value and how these tools can enhance learning in the classrooms. I'm starting here and with Twitter. Find me at http://twitter.com/annelisewojo. ..........................Right after I complete my spring state reporting! Back to work for me on this Sunday afternoon.
