Just getting started...

Okay 2nd period 7th grade English, don't give me a hard time - I am trying.

No, I am not nearly as cool or technologically adept as your SOCCOM teachers, but here is my first attempt at a blog for this class. Please feel free to post how you think we might be able to use this to enhance our English class. This is new to me as well, so let's make it useful for us together.

Thanks,

Mr. O

Welcome to my first ever blog...

Good luck to us all as this is the first time I have tried to use a blog as a teaching tool or as a tool for anything whatsoever. I welcome ideas on how I can use this for class, so let me know if you have any good ideas.
