I Guess it's Time

After attending TCEA 2014, the Texas Computer Education Association's annual conference, I decided it was time to start a blog. I never thought I needed to blog because I've never thought of myself as an expert at anything and I'm not one of those people that desires to be a famous blogger or have people I don't know tell me how fabulous I am. However, after attending a session called Bloggers Lead the Way, Amy Van Horn convinced me I have something to share.

Some of the reasons she gave for blogging:

• to share ideas
• to inspire others
• to start conversations
• to let others learn from my experiences 

Things to Blog About:

• what's working and what's not
• technology
• questions I have

These were all good reasons, none of which imply that I'm an expert, so I'm good with that. After all, I have taught classes for my district on technology and I've lead sessions for my teachers on how to use various tech tools, so why not share my experiences (and my frustrations) on a blog that will connect me to other educators and help us learn together. Even if no one reads this blog, at least it's an outlet for me to reflect. I used to journal to reflect on things I was learning and I really enjoyed it - it helped me grow. Hopefully this blog will do the same.
