Hello everyone who reads blogs. This is my first attempt at connecting to the world of bloggers. Hopefully it will be a successful attempt. I like to read. I read magazines, books, the bible, my textbooks. Reluctantly, I am now reading blogs from others and writing one of my own.
Let me be perfectly clear. I do not care much for TV, especially reality shows. I always thought of blogging, You Tubing, Facebooking, My Spacing, and Twittering (get a life) were just as time wasting as reality TV. I have plenty of reality in my own life. After 18 years in the military, and raising children, I would rather spend time with my children, friends and neighbors than read blogs about other people's lives.
With all this said, I now endeavor to learn about this new media (new to me), and will probably find out a few things about myself by connecting with others maybe half way across the country or across the world. It is possible.

AMEN on the reality TV comments - yuuck! This blogging thing is new to me, also. But, I am going to tackle this thing with an open mind, because I am confident that you, Amber, Mitch, and others have lots of knowledge and experience from which I can learn. I look forward to following your "blog-a-palooza" this semester.
ReplyDeleteI strongly agree with the get a life statement. Sometimes it is just to much to keep up with all of the online world as well as the real one. The thing that will be rewarding is seeing just how helpful blogging and the online community can be. the great thing is that if once I am a teacher I do not want to do the online stuff, I do not have to, but if I do then I will have the knowledge to help me out.
