This is my first blog

Until now, I have never kept a blog. To me a blog is equivalent to a diary save for the fact that this is a little more public.

Now we have this blog for our EDCI class. I was a little apprehensive at the beginning of this course. I was unsure whether or not to stay in it, but I'm glad that I did because now I know so much more about what the youth of today are growing up with.

Just think, I was in Grade 3 when I had my first experience with the internet. Back then, my teachers were showing us cool websites like dictionary.com. Now kids are starting internet surfing younger than that. The only difference was that this was new to us in a classroom setting. Most kids will come into school already fluent surfers. It is our challenge to tap into that knowledge and use it to our classrooms. If we can. Are we up to this challenge?
