Catching Up

Well, I'm going to be totally honest and admit that beginning this blog assignment had completely slipped my mind until this weekend.  I have been utterly consumed in creating and perfecting my still-not-perfect classroom webpage.  It has been submitted, and now I can move on.  :)  The main topic dominating my thoughts this week is maintaining this constant juggling act that is online class participation.  This class is one of three that I am currently taking while working full-time and being a wife and mother.  By this week, I have figured out a system that works for me, which is a good thing. 

I felt total glee as I submitted my classroom webpage assignment this week because I am so very proud of it.  I never would have thought of utilizing a website as a teacher, mainly because I never saw my teachers do it when I was in school.  This class has been a huge wake-up call for me and has made me realize that technology has changed a great deal since I was in school.  I have come to the conclusion that I need to swim or sink when it comes to using technology in my classroom.  I have chosen to swim.  And, turns out, swimming is fun after all.
