Can I just begin by saying how very STRESSFUL it is to create an initial blog?  Which theme do I use?  Should I make it “fun” to fit my personality, or serious to present a more professional feel?  Do you know how many themes I tried? (and yes, this is the theme I chose!) Then,  how do I begin?  Do I post, up front, my hopes and dreams for this blog, or just let it unravel gradually?  For those that know me, this is pretty daunting stuff…

So, what I have decided, is to just “go with it”.  This blog will “be what it is”.  It is my hope and dream to share my journey as I strive to totally transform my teaching.  I will no doubt have questions, be confused, and provide thoughts and ideas as to how I am working towards becoming a 21st century educator worthy of my 21st century students.  I am no expert.  I am just a classroom teacher who is constantly trying to better my understandings and practices within the educational field.

I would absolutely LOVE the following and support! Until our next conversation…
