The Dreaded Bloggers have arrived!

In one fateful day, we've moved from blissful ignorance to manic blogging fruitcakes! Granted, one of us is doing a course where she has to set up and maintain a blog but for the rest of us - there's no excuse. It's like facebook and iPad games all over again. Will we ever learn? Didn't we guess that when the design options gave us so much choice that we spent half an hour just working through the backgrounds and a further hour going through the colour schemes, we'd be ensnared? When waiting impatiently for our first hit overtook the burning desire to find our who replaced Matt on Masterchef, we should have been cautious.
Alas! Too late. Two blogs later and I'm energised - like the students who have taken on multiple tamagotchis!  (I have no idea how that's spelt - and incredibly it doesn't seem to matter. LOL! OMG

Life Long Learner 1

Okay, so let's start small - baby steps to begin with.
Q. Why the blog?
A. Why not? It's a great way to add a new dimension to my classroom when I'm teaching and when I'm wearing my writer's hat (which I intend to do more frequently), it's a good testing ground for ideas. Besides the last editors that I approached seemed a bit stunned that I hadn't 'put myself out there' with a blog. So be prepared for my comments and ramblings on a whole heap of threads (maybe).
Q. What have I learnt today?
A. How to set up my blog, play with the settings and if you are seeing this as a follower - then I've totally succeeded.
Many thanks Blogger - I hope!
