Here I go!

Well, after searching for some ideas for my next unit, I stumbled upon an English Teacher's blog and was astounded. Actually, astounded is an understatement. I was absolutely green with envy. Then I had a flashback of students telling me last week, "Miss Holmes, you should have a facebook or a myspace so we can message you questions!" and voila: a blog. One where I can write all of my plans for the week, encourage online posts in lieu of homework and get you guys working collaboratively even OUTSIDE of class! Since Edline does not allow for something this sophisticated, I think the next step is something BIGGER and BETTER!

Some inspirations for me were the following:
Saratoga InvenTeam: Project Lead the Way course in our own school!
Mr. Miller's English 10 Blog: The blogger I stumbled upon while looking to beef up my lesson plan!

I am going to go and start playing with the format of this blog for a little bit and then get some assignments and due dates going!
