Up and Running!
The blog is here and “Tech Tuesday” the newsletter is no more. I hope you all will appreciate the change, I know I will. If I’m honest, I’m extremely happy to no longer use the newsletter format. This is soooo much easier and information is distributed faster and more efficiently. In addition, the blog should decrease the number of emails you will receive from me, since I’ll need the content for the blog! I can hear the sighs of relief now! In addition, while the “Tech Tuesday” newsletter was mostly for technical issues, I would like this blog to cover any issues related to education, information, and technology you’d like to see covered. I hope this will also be a place to collaborate and share teaching methods.
Please take a moment to subscribe to the blog so that you’ll receive either emails when new posts are added and/or RSS feeds in your reader. Remember, if you need help setting up a reader, all you have to do is stop in and see me! I also expect you to comment on the posts. The whole point of the blog is to start a discussion. If you liked a link I posted or need more like it, comment. If you disagree/agree with what I say, comment. If you have something you want to share, send it to me and I’ll post it. This blog is for all of us, not just to “listen” to myself “speak!”

Hi Heather! Welcome the blogosphere! This is wonderful, and a great way to introduce and model a 21st centurty tool to your satff and network. I’m adding you to my reader tonight. I need the comments feed too, so add the meta widget. Can’t wait to see what insights you provide to me.

Hi Heather
This is Kevin, from Massachusetts, USA.
Welcome to the blogging world. I come here via a Twitter invite from Cathy (I see her pic right above this text box)
I invite you to venture over to my blog where a collaborative group of teachers and writers boil their day or week down to a sentence and then share it out as a collaborative community. This week, we are working with similes.

Take care. I am putting ya in my RSS feed (it won’t hurt, really)

I found your blog from @cathyjo on twitter – I just subscribed and look forward to reading your posts! I blog about edtech things at http://googtweetblog.edublogs.org if you’re interested. I love the look of your blog, very clean and uncluttered

Congrats on the new blog. I think the scope and purpose you have set for your blog will be very beneficial to not only your teachers and staff, but also anyone else in the world who may stumble across it… Good luck…

Wow. Thanks for the encouraging words, adding me to your readers, and giving me more blogs to add to my reader. Thanks Cathy for getting the word out and providing an instant audience! Now if my teachers jump on board as readily as you guys I may just go into shock. I will be inviting my teachers to the blog tonight.

Hi Heather,
I guess is almost that time of year that we will run into each other at SCASL. See you then!

Heather,
Welcome to blogging! Not only have I found it a great way to communicate but therapeutic on those frustrating days too. I look forward to reading more in the future.

@digimom @techchick94 I LOVE your podcast and am looking froward to visiting episode 40s links.

I have finished subscribing to everyone who has commented here. Some of whom I already had in my Google reader so it was a nice surprise to see them commenting here! I formally invited my school community to visit my site. A couple teachers have already asked how to subscribe via email and I hope the link worked. I’ll find out Monday as I’m getting ready to put up another article about a current collaboration project.
