Nervous

I feel such conflict about posting on this blog.  On the one hand, I am terrified to put my thoughts out on the web for all to read, see and comment on.  On the other hand, I feel empowered by being able to share my thoughts with an audience that chooses to be interested in them.  I find myself thinking carefully about what I want to share, how I want to express it.  Since reading about blogs, seeing some teachers use blogs, and now actually writing on a blog I have begun to believe in the potential it has to empower students to refine their thoughts, express them in a sophisticated way, and share them with others who will challenge and agree allowing the cycle to continue.
I chose to use Google as a host for my blog because I find Google to be user friendly as well as a being a provider I feel familiar with.  So far it has been as easy to use as I hoped it would be.  I am looking forward to blogging about my experience this course as I try these different technologies for the first time. 
We set up a blog in school to use as a forum to create a community of readers.  Students will need to review books and comment  on each other's reviews.  We are giving it out tomorrow, I wonder how successful it will be!  Hmmm I wonder how to post an attachment to share a document????
