Over the past week or so I have been creating my own social network. I set up this blogspot along with a ning account and a wikispaces account. Since I have used myspace and facebook quite a bit to keep in touch with friends and family, I felt pretty comfortable setting up these accounts and it didn't take me too long.
The only thing I felt somewhat uncomfortable with was the actual posting and blogging itself. I do read a lot of blogs and forums but I consider myself more of an observer and don't participate too much in all the interactions. I guess this is something I just need to get over and dive into.
I feel that all the new tools that web2.0 provides to educators today will change the face of education in the very near future. I am so excited to learn more about all the tools and providing more resources to my own students. It is also exciting to see what other educators are doing by expanding my own social network.

Jess,
Here is a link to a former students' high school math blog: LMMath
You might want to connect with Natalie and learn how she is implementing these new tools in her classroom.
I agree with you completely when it comes to posting my own blogs and adding my feeling about topics I never feel comfortable. I also feel like I am going to make a comment that does not fit the nature or parameters of the conversation. The one thing that helps me is to blog in my particular field of education, which is the health and physical education area.
