Day 1 of Blogging

It was so easy to set up this blog for our class.  Blogger is an amazing site and so easy to use.  I have created a blog on this site for another class and I really like the set up.  It would be nice if there were some templates to help make it look "prettier" but I am sure I will find those over time.

I was at a conference today and the administrators were talking about the summer reading they assigned to their staff.  One suggestion for how to have a genuine conversation about the reading was to create a blog.  This would be an interesting way to keep in touch with what teachers are truly thinking about the books and not take away time from other professional development.

I could also see a blog being helpful in my position.  I am always looking for ways to publicize great resources for teachers that are available.  A blog might give me an easy way to do that.  I am not sure if I want to put in the work of updating it daily but I do think it is an easy way to share information quickly.
