For several years I have wanted to start a blog. Overwhelmed by the technology and not knowing what to write about (or if my thoughts were worth sharing), I’ve procrastinated and avoided. After an amazing presentation by Tracy Kriese and her colleague Lori Schoch on using blogs with middle grade students, I’ve decided to finally give it a try. Check out their presentation from the TCTELA Annual Conference in Austin, 2016 http://teachstudentblogging.weebly.com/.

I’m modeling my blog after Tracy’s personal blog- allowing myself a space to think and write about life, work and the world
