Welcome back!

Nowadays everyone seems to be blogging~ celebrities such as Paris Hilton, sports stars like Curt Schilling, newscasters, radio hosts, journalists, and millions of other "regular" people using myspace, facebook, Google, and hundreds of other sites.

So, it got me thinking.

Can I use this 21st century technology to teach about subjects that are 21 centuries old? The answer~ maybe!

We often have insightful conversations in class, but what is said in one period may not be said in another. So, one way I can use this blog is to post insightful comments or thoughts~ so all students can hear them.

Who knows, maybe students (or parents) could write, e-mail, or talk with me about their thoughts and ideas~ not just about ancient history. But about what is happening in the world around us, the town of Coventry, or how we could make our school better.

Writing and having discussions about current events is going to be an integral part of Social Studies this year. Stay tuned for further information as to how this blog can help your grade!

This idea is a work in progress and it may or may not survive. That will depend on feedback from parents and students.

Feel free to leave a comment here (all comments will be sent to me first- then after it meets my approval it will be posted on the blog).
