//Additional Collboration/Communication Tools//

 I truly understand why students are so intrigued by technology. It has taken hold of me in such a way that I cannot seem to have enough of it! I spent some time with a very talented and experienced teacher earlier this year. One of the activities that her students participate in is blogging. This fascinated me! Now that I have a fuller understanding of blogging, I have decided that this is what I want to do with my students.

 I registered for an account with ClassBlogMeister.com. That was the easy part. The more difficult part was deciding what topics my students would find interesting enough that they would want to participate with some serious thought. I brainstormed several ideas and then decided that I would prioritize them. The three questions that I wanted my students to comment on: 1) Should Spanish be required in all schools? (Should everyone be required to learn Spanish in high school?) 2) Should English be adopted as our official language in the United States? 3) Should we continue building the fence along the United States – Mexico border? Why or why not?
