I am so glad I am not the only learner

Hello everyone! This is a great assignment. It is making me learn how to blog and what a blog is. This year at our very first faculty meeting, our principal said that he wanted us to look at developing blogs, podcasts, wikis, etc. somehow in our curriculums. Being the media specialist at a high school, if I get real efficient with this, I could help our faculty members start their very own blogs. In fact, I think I will attach a blog to my library website. Maybe, students could use this to talk about books!

Wondering

I am wondering what my topic will be. I have been thinking and thinking. I looked through the 42explore topics to see if anything peaked my interests. I thought about bullying. What makes someone become a bully? Being at a high school and being short myself, I know how other children treat each other. My son was short and he got teased a lot. Being teased though can be different than being bullied. Girls can be so cruel to each other.

By the way, I named my blog Maxie's Parents after our yorkie, Max. So, do I want to learn more about yorkies. Human behavior is more interesting to me. I am going to continue to wonder for a little while longer.
