Down to business

Now that I have made two posts that get the personal stuff out of the way it's time for me to get down to business. Since blogging is new to me most likely few people will read my posts unless I get out there and read there's (this is my husbands advice), or post some questions that could generate some discussion. So this is what I am going to do.

First question.
Why are teachers, especially art teachers, so afraid of computers and the internet and using them in their teaching?(obviously not all of them are but the majority of those I meet are).

Who is that Handsome guy?



More Photos of my son Noah. Not to brag as a mother or anything but I have been blessed with a very photogenic kid who likes to get his picture taken. Who could ask for more, especially as a photographer. Soon I will be posting some of my other art work and will hopefully be able get some comments on it.

My First Blog

I've seen it done before. But this is my first Blog experience. I have several witty friends who have Blogs and have much more interesting lives than I. Or atleast can write in a way that makes their lives seem much more interesting than mine.
But down to business.
I am starting this blog partly becaus it may offer me some connections in the world that I have not already made that will be useful. The real driving force is the Graduate Thesis that I have undertaken. My thesis is on the "utilization of interactive wed based technology in the highschool art classroom." Blogs are one of the areas I plan to explore. I couldn't very well explore something like this, even in a scholarly sense, without participating in it. So here I am. Ready to embark on the world of blogging, and for the masses reading this, I would also like to point out that I have already learned to include "twitter" on my blog, which I hope buys me a little " geek street cred."
Probably not.(oh well)
