The possibilities for using them with students was incredible. At that time, I was taking a course in instructional design and had to design a major project. What a perfect opportunity for me to see what I could do with a blog. I was also involved in a grant to improve writing scores in my district.

I'm actually creating a blog! This is really an exciting experience for me. When I first started digging into blogs, I couldn't help but see the many possibilites for using this format with students. What a great opportunity for teachers to create authentic, interactive writing activities. So that's what I want to do.
