I am starting my sixth year of teaching in Round Rock. After student teaching 100 years ago, I decided I would be a horrible teacher and gave up the thought of ever being a teacher. Thankfully, I was given another opportunity when we lived in Washington state. I tried substitute teaching and was bitten by the joy of making a difference in the lives of students and co-workers. I am on a constant learning curve and hope I never think I have "arrived" at being a teacher.
I have three children, who keep me laughing. One is married, one is out of the country, and one is at home entertaining me daily. I have faith in a big God who is all about relationships rather than religion. My life is lived each day intentionally.
My plan with this course in mind was simple and selfish; I wanted to be able to assist my son in making his blog cool! In the process of learning about how to fix his, I am now hoping to make a class blog to put in motion this year with students and hopefully their parents. I want to learn how to add fun features, give it voice both visually and in print, and see how the big dogs do it!
As I begin to thing of my purpose, well Sheesh! I am trying here! Thus far, my purpose is to follow the rules of the game whilst having fun! I desire to not become frustrated with not being able to get things like Avatars to show up and having to start over because I think I have lost something. I will say more later....hopefully AFTER the Avatar is on the page!
