Blogging Instructionally

Hi!  My name is Toni Ramey.  I am a first grade teacher at Leonard Lawrence Elementary school in Bellevue, Nebraska.  I received a degree in elementary education from the University of Northern Colorado and a masters degree from Wayne State College.  I also have many hours of continuing education focusing on the quality classroom.  I started blogging just a few months ago, and I am taking an online class about instructional blogging in order to help me develop a more useful blog for my parents and other teachers.

I am not very knowledgeable when it comes to technology, but am willing to try and eager to learn.  I am one of those people who have to do things several times in order to remember how to do it and to commit it to memory!  I recently bought a new PC (my old one died!) and am still learning on it.

I have been stalking several teacher blogs for the last few months and have already used many of the ideas I have found.  I am so impressed not only with the creativity and passion I've seen on these blogs, but also with the generosity and willingness to share ideas and lessons!  I would like to share things that are happening in our class with the parents of my students while, hopefully, sharing ideas with other teachers.
