My name is Julia and this is my blog where you can sing along. I will not be singing for the good of the masses, but you are welcome to sing.
I have admittedly very limited experience with blogs. Previously, I had started one to keep in touch with family and friends throughout my time in Italy, but didn't update very much and then forgot about it completely when I returned home. I'm reflecting often as an educator, though more often than not it's a pen to paper exercise.
While I don't consider myself to be a technology genius, I do recognize its role and importance in education. I imagine I will probably be using this a lot for future reference, as well as looking at plenty of educational blogs and tools to help me better myself along the way.
So, bear with me. It's all a work in progress.
In the meantime, here are some cool blogs I found. Complete with screen shots! Ooh and ahh at them accordingly, and enjoy the description of why I chose them.
1. Bud the Teacher: This blog talks about where the classroom is heading in regards to journalism, multimedia, etc.
http://budtheteacher.com/blog/
2. YourEnglishClass.com: Because it features everything from historical perspectives to literary theory to poetry.
http://yourenglishclass.com/
3. Living on the Lip of Insanity: The name admittedly was the hook for me. However, I chose this blog because it contains one of the topics that interests me most, which is how to engage students in effective ways.

Lastly, my sincere apologies if the photo qualities are terrible. I am playing around on a new computer and by my next post will have figured out how to properly take a screen shot. Promise.
Until then!
A great start Julia! I see that you've also found some interesting links. Try using labels to sort and then you can add a labels gadget to the sidebar to easily access things by categories as your blog grows. Also see if you can find the embed code to add your Twitter feed to your sidebar.
