Welcome!
1 01 2008New Year’s resolutions….AGGGGGGG! I once heard a speaker who said, “don’t call them resolutions but rather revolutions.” Definition time! Resolution means to make a decision to do something ,whereas a revolution requires a change in ideas or practices. So this week many decisions are being made. How many of us change our practice? If you are one of the few to ever keep a resolution you know it took more than a decision. It took goal setting, an action plan, hard work,discipline, and perseverance. A revolution took place!
My New Year’s resolution is to …I mean my revolution is …to start, maintain, and develop the instructional technology blog that I first thought of creating in March of 2007. No more procrastinating! My goal for this blog is to pass on a “bit-of-honey”; tiny tidbits of technology knowledge that will sweeten your already tasty instruction! We are all BUSY BEES, and this year offers the same. I want to approach professional development differently in ‘08 and blogging is one form of this new approach. Viva la Revolution! I want to keep my audience in mind, so I have issued some self-imposed rules…promises to you the reader.
I will…
keep each post under 250 words.

PD Exercise: Post a comment about your “instructional revolutions” and/or answer my question: Are you already a blogger?
WORD COUNT:244
Answer to your question – No, I’m not a blogger. Not even sure of all the things you are talking about in your blog but looking forward to all the new tips and ideas.
Looks good, Karla. You get an A in creative writing….I mean blogging. Happy New Year to you, too!
Karla,
I don’t know much about blogs either, but looks good and I like that you’re going to keep it short and sweet so I can read amongst all the other emails sent. Thanks ahead of time for any tips and advice.
Yo go girl. This all fits in with the professional playground of the future. It’s too late to be the Kathy Schrock of the Internet Resources, but not too late to be a good representative of instructional technology in Botetourt County.
Hey Karla,
You say you want a revolution? I’m ready for a little revolution myself.
You have a great start!
Way to go Karla! I am not a blogger, and really know little about it. But I’ll read yours! Happy New Year to you. So glad to have you on my team!
Way to go, Karla! I am not a blogger, but will enjoy learning
a lot about what you can teach us! Thanks for always willing
to teach us new things.
Love Ya! Tami
Happy New Year to you and this is a first for me. I’ve visited and read my first blog! Way to keep thinking, creating and sharing new tech!! I look forward to more learning. Keep on Teching!!!!
Awesome, Karla, love the bees. My niece has a blog and has been after me to do one. I just might…I can be a grannyblogger. I can’t wait to see all your tips. I’ll forward your blog to Megan, I’m sure she’ll find your tips helpful as well.
Hi Karla,
Mom sent me your blog. I can’t wait to read about all your little tid bits of technological information. Thanks for the teacher tube! I can’t wait to check it out in more depth. You were right about the City! I am loving it!!!
Megan
Looks great! I do not blog because I do not know much about it, but I look forward to viewing more of yours!
Hey Karla,
Your blog looks great, I will need your tips and guidance… and wisdom.
Happy New Year!
Way to go, Karla! I am not a blogger, but would love to read yours.
Wow! I’m blogless. I know nothing about blogs so thanks for the education. This is very cool! Look forward to more!
I am also starting a revolution this year – tell you in person!
Have a great 2008!
This is AWESOME Karla! I haven’t blogged, but I do read them on myspace and other websites. Teacher Tube is a great idea. Thanks for all of the information. I am looking forward to seeing more from this site.
Dag, Karla! This is down right impressive! I’m so glad you don’t hide your little “light” under a barrel! I am about to send Tracey’s multiplication site to a friend. See? You’ve helped me already. I can’t wait to read more!
Your old pal,
Frankie
Thanks for keeping me current! My teenage girls will be very impressed that I even know what the word “blog” means…Pam
Hey Karla!
I just found your blog. Great job! I made the same goal for myself to post weekly and I’ve already missed the last 2 weeks. But, I uploaded 4 posts yesterday, so I’m thinking it all averages out! Good to see you at the summit last week. Have a great day!
