I am still not sure how comfortable I am with blogging in general. It seems like a great way to get your thoughts out in public quickly and efficiently. Also, it would make you a better writer if you are doing it on a continual basis. Some of my students love it and do it on their own on sites other than myspace or facebook or etc. Currently because our school blocks blogs, I can only see them for research or pleasure reading outside of school. I feel like it is a pain to try to fit in my schedule. As long as we as teachers can teach about safety on the internet and students can abide by the rules, I do think it is an inevitable result of the way society as a whole is heading. Right now, it still is a bit tedious of a process for me because I am a digital immigrant and not a digital native. Someday I will be more comfortable and do more entries in a shorter time span.
For those of you wondering, Arizona was wonderful. It was sunny and warm everyday and we saw a lot. We put 1400 miles on our rental car in 10 days. We took over 1000 photos so I should have a couple of good ones for the Christmas letter. The luggage apparently liked vacation so much it took an extra two days to get home. But, it all ended in the right place. Can't wait for the next trip. Thanks to all of those who helped us in our journeys.

If a district is at least willing to embrace the concept of blogging, they would be able to see the new options it provides in all subjects. The students would also be able to communicate with each other, classes in other local cities, and across the world.
This is one of those things that you start small and see how far you can go - some of our sites allow for safer blogging. Congrats on trip and I'm glad the luggage made it!
