Hi to all--or even just one!--person who comes across this blog and reads this much! I am relatively new to blogging. I set up one last year just for the teachers that participated in a summer book study I led in my school but I abandoned it as soon as the study was over.

After attending the JSU CORE Academy just this week I have gained the courage to try again. With the help of Farrah Kilgo, http://thinkshareteach.blogspot.com and Cara Whitehead, http://teachingmycalling.blogspot.com, my eyes were opened to all the great ways social media can be used in the classroom--both with the students and for my own professional development. I owe it to myself and my students to tackle this tool. And I can't wait to learn all about it!
