What Me, Starting a Blog???

     Starting a Blog??  Really had no interest in starting a blog or spent much time reading other people's blogs.  I embrace technology and enjoy checking in with friends and family on facebook.  However, this summer I started noticing friends posting little "pins" from the pininterest.com website and heard from celebrities, like Bethaney Frankel, why I should follow their pins.   I didn't see why I should care what products they were endorsing, until one on my fellow educators pinned an anchor chart photo.
    Suddenly, I was intriqued and had to know more.  Two weeks later and I am still searching until the wee hours of the morning and pinning creative ideas, great websites and I have discovered tons of exceptional educators who are willing to share their hardwork and ideas.  I started by reading additional pages of blogs I found through pininterest and then started clicking on recommended blogs to follow on Facebook or Google+.
     As their ideas and the images that I have viewed over the last two weeks from pinning, I began to get even more excited about my new teaching position.  I have 21 years of teaching experience from 4th to 8th grade teaching science primarily and elementary math.  Collaboration and working with others to create new curriculum or designing new projects have always been exciting.  Mentoring other elementary teachers in science and technology has been my niche for the last ten years.  I have been focusing on ideas for Math Journals and the use of Anchor Charts primarily and want to document the evolution of my ideas for math and science this year.  So maybe a starting a blog does not sound so far fetched.
     Please excuse any error as I learn my way around this new (to me) technology.
