What a great way to use technology in the classroom, especially international schools! I will be moving to Asia next year and my children will be in an international school. I love that the schools are utilizing progressive technology. My hope is that my children benefit from this and can bring back to the U.S. some of the incredible learning tools/knowledge they have gained. I will have to do more research into the podcast technology for my communications with my friends and family back home. I love the podcast idea!

Actually it is an assignment for a class I am taking online so please be patient with me. I am a High School teacher in Maryland and found this Blog just by chance.

I would some advice on how to get started and also where can I information Blog etiquette. Also are there general education Blogs I should know about?

I've been here for 3 and a half years already and I feel like I understand what blogging means for me, and I want to have more control over my own blog. I pay for my domain: http://kimcofino.com and will now manage my own installation of WordPress. I'll be posting something about the process on <a href="http://kimcofino.com/blog" rel="nofollow">my new blog soon</a>. @aleafinjapan, Well, I think I explained most of it in the post - just wanted to learn how to manage my own site in order to better be able to help others. Plus, I'm not a fan of the ads on edublogs now (which weren't there when I started blogging here). I'm using WordPress on <a href="http://kimcofino.com/blog" rel="nofollow">my new blog</a>. I'll be sharing my thoughts on the process of moving over soon! @jmarie

To me the definition of a great teacher is someone who in order to teach can "revert" to whe they didn't understand!

I am curious about why you are leaving edublogs? Is it because you feel somehow restricted by design and layout options? Are you coding your own site? Or are you using another program to do so? Akemashite omedetou! Happy New Year! Elif Hi Kim,

I just started a new blog on edublogs. I am curious about why you are leaving edublogs? Is it because you feel somehow restricted by design and layout options? Are you coding your own site? Or are you using another program to do so?

Akemashite omedetou!
Happy New Year!
