First Post!

As cool as I get.

Hello out there!  I've been reading a lot about blogging and it's rise in popularity as an educational tool so I figured I should try it myself before I subject any of my students to it.  Practice what you preach, right?  I'm in a media literacy graduate program at Appalachian State University and in this class called Hypermedia in Instruction we're reading a book by Will Richardson.  He's big into blogging and getting students blogging.
I have no idea if everyone wants to have a blog or just certain types of people really get into it.  I've always considered myself one to NOT have a blog.  I'm just not very outgoing and I don't really feel like people want to read what's going on in my life/mind.  But anyway, I need to give it a shot and I'm going to try to post things in which I have interest and others may have insight and hopefully we'll all learn something from this.  That's the idea, right?
