Social Networking

 Social networking is a way for people to gain information from people they may or may not know.  This information can be about people or just from them.  For me, social networking is use more for a personal use.  I use it to keep in contact with friend and family back home by sharing comments, pictures and updates.  I rarely use it for work purposes.  This is because I did not know a trust worthy network.  For me the risk was bigger than the reward.   I believe my students are very much like me.  They get on social networks for the social part, not to share information.  With the learning of all the social networks designated for education, I feel this will change.     

Why a Blog?

Some of you maybe wondering why do this blog?  First, I hope to use this blog as an interactive discussion page to inform people about what is happening in the classroom.  This means that parents and students will not only be able to see and hear, but they will be able to comment on things that they like and ask questions for items they may not understand.  A traditional website will only allow for me to post information to read and look at.  We all know that one way communication can become frustrating and somewhat uninteresting.  I hope to change that with this blog.  Enjoy

Just Getting Started

I have created this page for a class I am taking at Michigan State University, but my hope is that this becomes a way for parents to follow their child's school day.  I hope to have comments, pictures and data for our upcoming hydroponic project posted soon.  Take care and keep looking for updates.
