What is a "blog" anyway?

One of the challenges of using "new technologies" is actually figuring out "what" the technology is all about. Thanks to Paul Aiken for providing the link to this introductory video on blogging. http://paitken.edublogs.org/

09-10-25 first blog post

After attending the CUEBC Horizons 2009 conference on Friday, my mind has been awhirl with how to organize and share the exciting information that seems to inundate my travels on the internet. As well, I also follow several EdTech podcasts, listening to my iPod on the way to school in the morning, and I am slowly starting to investigate Twitter. So much "good stuff" to explore!

Now, with all those wonderful resources out there, why should I bother to do my own blog? Perhaps it is exactly BECAUSE there is so much information out there, and because so much of it is beyond or outside of my "elementary school" needs. This blog will be a way of collecting those resources that seem suitable to my own school's situation, and as well, a vehicle to share them.

and there you have it... that's the start of my first blog!
