Long time, no post

I totally forgot I had even started this blog until some students started nosing around, so I guess I will have to update again!

I am using Blogger as a teaching tool for my kids. I started a technology projects class where students get to choose what software they want to learn: Photoshop, Flash Animation, Movie Maker and more. They set up their own learning plans and they need to blog their plans and progress. It is difficult to manage the class in the way of assigning points and grades. But in the big world, how does one learn new things? First he or she must want to want to learn something new and then go about finding the best way to learn it for his or herself. I believe that is true. If any one of my current students finds this posts and comments on it, there is extra credit in for the first one! :)
