So here's the story: About 10 years ago (!!!) I started a blog for my advanced science class. I was one of the first teachers in my school to use the blog as part of my teaching. At the time, I mostly used it for current events - I would post articles for the students to read and discuss. Occasionally I would use it to group a collection of web links that I wanted the students to use in class or for homework.
Fast forward ten years, and now blogs are a requirement at my school (you can check out my current blog HERE). However the purpose has changed - most teachers use the blog as a home-school communication tool, posting homework, class events, etc. When I started, I chose BlogSpot as a host - my options were rather limited at the time. Now, my district has provided us with a blogging platform...ah, how times change!
So this blog lay idle for quite some time (an embarrassingly long time, especially considering that I've had this linked to my Twitter account for years). This year however, I've decided to blog again, but this time for myself. The new purpose isn't to write for my students, but rather to share strategies I've tried in class, promote my (NEW!) Teacher Pay Teachers store, and discuss trends in education.
I hope you'll join me on this journey!
