This is my first foray into the world of blogging. I want to use this electronic tool to help engage my students and make the process of learning more interesting. Many times I have my students journal and write reflectively on what has happened in class. Sometimes the students find this task tedious and dull. I hope by moving this to an electronic format I will engage those students who absolutely hate writing, encourage those who like writing to write more and eliminate the unnecessary killing of trees. I will also provide lesson plans on here for teachers to use. I will also post information about the happenings in class and with the Drama Club so parents and other students can keep up with what is going on. Also, the students will be able to get information on assignments so they can keep up with things. I don't know yet how often I will make entries as this is still a work in progress.
Some basic information about me: I teach theatre at Sol C Johnson High School and I love every minute of it. As you can see, it's summer and here I am thinking about what I want to do this coming school year. I am the proud mother of two amazing young men ages 19 and 16. I am happily married to my husband who is my tech guru. He helps me tremendously and we often brainstorm together on things I can do in my class involving technology. I am owned by 2 silly cats who rule the roost.
That's it for now. As I figure things out and make plans you will be the first to know!
Thanks for taking the time to read. Feel free to post comments and ideas.
