Becoming a Blogger

When I was a teenager I used to keep a notebook beside my bed just in case I wanted to record my thoughts. I would write for a few days or perhaps even a week, but the novelty would wear off and not too long after, the notebook would collect dust and eventually slip under my bed lost beneath socks, shorts, and whatever else I shoved under my bed. Months later, I would recover the journal in a cleaning spree and make another halfhearted attempt to become a writer. I wanted to write - or at least, the romantic idea of becoming a writer. So here I am again attempting to become the writer that I longed to be in my teenage years.

Now however I am more focused and more driven than I was as a teenager. Writing, this time, will not be a collection of random thoughts, but instead will serve as a professional journal reflecting on my teaching experiences, educational pedagogy, technology, and even a few goofy teaching moments. Ultimately, this blog will be a means for me to reflect as I grow as an educator.
