The Journey of Tool #1...

As I begin my journey, much like Dorothy, I begin at the beginning. While not a 'Yellow Brick Road", 'Tool #1' has certainly been an adventure... After several days (and nights) and multiple hours of navigating throughout multiple windows (both helpful and otherwise), I believe I have completed all the tasks. I can now say that, having actually read ALL of the instructions, I have a better understanding of what this journey may entail. I am having fun creating this blog and anticipate using it with my students in order to convey thoughts/ideas that we may or may not have gotten to in class. My level of concern for keeping up with the blog is rising as I type, but I hope that the process continues to bring a certain level of glee to the experience, therein helping the upkeep process something that I 'look forward to' rather than 'have to do'. I am pleased with the look of the page with the exception of the Avatar (although the fact that its name is the same as the film did make me happy AND I learned that the film title was not made up for the film... Who knew?!). That aside, I am happy that (I believe) I have at least taken the first few steps of the journey. I hope that I have done them with grace. And that I don't end up being attacked by Flying Monkeys.
