Thing 4 - Beauties of Blogging

I have followed several blogs (as time allows ;)) over the past year or so and have become increasingly aware of the POWER of blogging to communicate and network.

Some of my FAVORITES include:

• Notes from the Trenches - courageous and hilarious mother or seven (also has celiac disease)
• Pioneer Woman - awesome city-turned-country girl with amazing photography and culinary skills!
• Gluten-Free Girl - amazing woman with celiac disease who's hubby is a chef :)
• and Book of Yum - wonderfully illustrated gluten-free cooking

Of course these are all PERSONAL INTEREST blogs! I obviously need to add some EDUCATION blogs to my reader.

As I begin this journey, creating my OWN blog, I can gleen hints from these experts about style, presentation, and linking (I'm still getting the hang of this part!).

I especially enjoy embedded pix and videos -- when they help tell the story or provide details.

Here's one of my new fav videos (a true 'blast from the past'):

I'm Just A Bill

My Current Issues students are, for the first time, involved in blogging... we're learning together! The Comments feature is fantastic for providing quick, descriptive feedback.
