Why blogging?

Many times, I am sitting around thinking about teaching and learning. My mind is turning with ideas to try in my classroom. Sometimes, I decide to write ideas down or I might type it into the notes section of my iPad. Often times, I forget ideas.

So I thought, how about blogging; a place where I can document ideas in one place. Hopefully, these thoughts and ideas can be discussed with other educators to help teachers and students everywhere.

My goal is to use this as a place where I can share ideas about developing an effective classroom for today and beyond.  My classroom is not perfect, so I hope that I can also gain ideas from you. I believe that effective teaching and learning is a collaborative process. Together, we can create a learning place that is highly functional for all learners.

Well, here it is. One random summer night, it begins. I hope that I can look back at this post and celebrate collaboration. I hope that teachers become inspired everywhere. Most of all, I hope that our ideas can maximize learning for all students!

Let's get this started.
