Getting Started

I am an advocate of using technology in school.

And all the information about school leadership in this area suggests that if you want to lead in technology, you have to be a user of technology, so this is the first post to my blog. Candidly, I have read blogs but can't recall that I ever responded to one (other than Jon Orr's!). A few weeks ago someone quoted an interesting statistic: 90% of all blogs are never responded to. Several days later at another conference, another presenter insisted that a blog was a good way to drive traffic to your website. So much for experts.

I hope this will become another spot where people can share ideas, communicate concerns and tell stories about their experiences at Faith. It won't be a place to bash teachers, staff or other students (technology provides plenty of those places already). It may help us get the word out on important events. My guess is that the blog will evolve as people choose to read and respond (or not, if the good Dr. Bresemann is correct!) So let the conversation begin....

Here is an interesting topic that I gave my students this past quarter. View the story and let us know what you think. I will post some of my students responses after a few days.

The link feature is not working, so you will have to copy and paster the link into your address bar.
