Blogging: post 1

Blog: To write entries in, add material to, or maintain a weblog.

The internet has been a standard in my life since I was 9 years old when I created my first E-mail account. Although our relationship has changed, I have maintained the connection. It has grow, evolved and progressed since we starting see each other. Looking at screen after screen, gathering information and neatly filing it away in the crevasses of my brain; the internet has been a good friends to me.
I began blogging a few years ago on livejournal and myspace. I started because I love to journal and sometimes I enjoy the feed back I receive from the people reading them, SOMETIMES.
I feel that this will be a useful tool for this class because it will encourage us to post a items that will help each of us better understand the many uses of technology. Because of this we will be better informed on how to use technology in and out of the classroom.
