Entering the 21st Century

Well, here it is.....I have now entered the 21st century. Those of you that know me, will get a chuckle from the creation of this blog. Yes, I have resisted entering the "online world" of facebook, twitter, and whatever else lies in cyberspace. However, now the time has come where I do not have a choice in the matter, as this is a requirement for one of my courses to complete my Masters in Educational Psychology, and is a requirement for me to truly connect with my 21st century students.

Since, I do believe there is a silver lining in every experience that comes our way, here are my thoughts on this particular assignment. It has actually been a very fun and humbling journey. To some this assignment may have been a "walk in the park" or "smooth sailing" however for me, it has been full of trial and error. Whispering questions to myself like: What in the world is a gadget? I thought that was something you use in the kitchen!

So for this moment, I walk in the shoes of my students and am hopefully practicing what I preach, "Don't fear the unknown! Jump in with two feet and arm yourself with an excellent attitude, a huge smile, and before you know it you'll be enjoying the experience." I am on my way to being an expert blogger! My students would be proud. :)
