TLA TAL - Getting Started

What I hope to learn from this course....

I hope that this course encourages me to devote a little more time to managing my web presence and challenges me to use more technology in my classroom.  A few years ago, I developed a blog on wordpress as a way to store a digital portfolio of my work, but having not maintained the blog since its creation, I believe it is out of date now.  I have done the same with websites I have created over the years.  I hope that with a course dedicated to using a blog to turn in coursework and comment on others work, it will help me develop a habit of maintaining my sites so that they are current and useful to me.  If I can develop good habits with maintaining this blog, maybe I can transfer that habit to other blogs I have started or develop a new one that I can use as a foundation for a class with my students.  It's about setting it as a priority, I think.
