I have a blog!!!

I am taking an online class this summer to learn how to teach using the latest technologies out there.  And wow!!! I am absolutely amazed at the fact that I am so unaware of so many of them.  As an educator, I need to keep up with what is happening out there in the online world or else lose the connection with my students.  Most of my students these days have an iphone or a blackberry and that's in 7th grade!!  When it comes to online technologies, they might know more than me and that can never be good, so I am using my summer to learn.  It is just mindboggling how much is really out there and I am so behind....This class is forcing me to get out of my comfort zone and learn to navigate the web a little better.  So here I am learning how to blog.  Never thought I would do something like this.  I saw others do it, but was very hesitant about doing it myself.  It just seems a little frightning to know that people will actually read or could read my writing.  Though I love to write!!!  It has always been my passion!  I was just never comfortable with sharing it, but blogging will help me overcome this.  So here goes my first post!!
