Joining the Blogging Community

I finally finished setting up my blog, after over a year...Why did I wait?  Mainly never taking the time to do this.  In my Web2.0 class, I was given a push called a grade...I have wikis and google sites, and I am always on the internet.  Most of my time is spent planning lessons, creating lessons, teaching with new tools.  I think that a blog is more public, more permanent, and a way to create a sense of self.  I really don't know who I am, and am in a constant state of discovery.  My eldest child is very grounded, knows who she is, what she wants to do in life, and does exactly that.  I am a perpetual learner, and find the need to move from one task to another at moderate pace.  I can get lost in searching.  Perhaps this blog will help me find my way.
I am by nature a planner and a creator.  A blog has tools for setup, but it seems to evolve in a way about which I am not entirely certain.  Once I try it, I am sure I will be able to redesign the look.  I am already excited that I am finally writing this.

I envision at first starting new pages for my classes, then perhaps separate blogs as well.  I use wikis for discussions about our readings in class.  I think blogs will work better, as they have more options, and are more visually appealing.  I also envision students creating their own blogs.  I need to experiment with the feeds and links on another day..
