The Birth of a Blog

Never in a million years did I think I would be writing a blog. My main purpose is to explore the use of blogs as tools for teachers and students. I will begin teaching educational technology again in the fall at Elizabethtown College and I want to see how blogs and other tools work and how they may benefit my students and their students. At some point I may create a page like this one at SDSU.

I began learning more about webquests this evening and will probably incorporate a unit on webquests in my course this fall.

I also want to learn more about capturing, editing and publishing audio and video.

I hope to be able to incorporate some photos from my trips into my teaching (and this blog), such as this photo of the Independence Monument taken at the Colorado National Monument this past summer as I toured Colorado with my mother.

For those that haven't had the pleasure of visiting the Colorado National Monument, it is located west of Grand Junction Colorado near the Utah border. It is hard to take a bad photo as you wind your way along the 20-mile road through this beautiful national monument.
