week1 thing #1

blogging is somewhat of a mystery to me.i'm a little concerned about being too "out there" with information in this day and age.i'm not really sure what i have to add in this form of communication.i see some applicatios for the classroom and home communication but i'm concerned about monitoring middle schoolers on this.my other concern is that any home use of computers has become the 21st century "the dog ate my homework" excuse for students.i'll keep an open mind but don't see this as a big use tool for me.i hope to find a variety of tools to enhance student learning. i've used google apps,looking forward to dealing with voice streaming and movie maker.
