Welcome!

Welcome to my new blog!  I am excited about entering the Blogging world as it relates to education.  I have maintained a personal blog in the past, but it's literally been years since I posted to that blog.  Welcoming twins into the world will completely change the way you use your time, and it definitely has for me! Needless to say, I've not had much time to blog in the past 16 months.  I am looking forward to using Blogger to share my thoughts and ideas with my students, parents, school community, and possibly the world!

This fall, I hope to be able to introduce to my students and their parents some ideas I have learned in becoming familiar with Google Calendar and Google Docs.  I'm really excited about the uses I have discovered for these tools in my classroom.  I love to communicate with parents, and these tools should add a whole new level of convenience for how I keep parents in the classroom and school loop.  My plan is to share a school calendar and a classroom calendar through Google Calendar.  I also hope to share important classroom documents through Google Docs.  My head is spinning at all the ways I can transform my current classroom practices and routines using these tools!

  1. Question: Do you maintain a web page for your class? If so, you can embed a google calendar on your class web site. Visit my blog for instructions.
