Welcome to My World!

I am currently taking a graduate course that involves using blogs, wikis, podcasts and other web tools into the classroom. The course requires that I maintain an educationally related blog, so here I am!

So, why would you want to visit my blog? Well, I'm hoping to offer tips on using technology. Some tips may be simple, like shortcuts in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc. Others may be more advanced, like how to have Word automatically save to your server instead of My Documents. I'd also like to share teaching ideas--not just mine, but ideas from other teachers. Sometimes what seems like a no-brainer to one teacher is a wow idea for another!

In addition, I may use a post to elicit opinions on an educationally-related topic. Or perhaps just a rant on an incident that happened in my classroom. I'm hoping that others will be willing to offer their comments on how to handle a situation or simply to commiserate and let me know that I'm not alone!

Stay tuned . . . this ought to prove interesting!
