Welcome to the first edition of the Pierce School Educational Technology & Library Blog! Joan and I will be alternately writing and co-authoring articles for this blog. Our goal is to provide information and resources to our faculty and students as well as model the use of blogs.
We were inspired to begin this adventure when we attended the New Hampshire Christa McAuliffe Technology conference last week. The keynote speaker, Dr. Tim Tyson, is a former middle school principal (http://mabryonline.org/) who used blogs extensively in his practice.
Let us know if you have ideas for our blog or want to use one in your own classroom.
Joan and Sandy

This is the first time I have read a blog. I have long wondered how to use a blog. I guess I am learning right now!
Thanks for doing this and I look forward to reading your blog often. That is, if that is what one does on a blog!
Although my profession is in Information Technology (IT), I am like "nancy" who said she is a novice to blogs and blogging.
I congratulate Ms. Hamilton and Ms. Sicard for taking inspiration from Dr. Tim Tyson and starting up this Blog. I think it will be another great way to pass ideas around the Pierce community.
I am inspired to become a blogger myself! As an elementary school principal, I understand how crucial it is to communicate with the school community: parents, teachers, support staff, students. While I have registered a blog space, I have yet to launch it officially, so it sits in my mind, waiting for inspiration. Your postings are inspiring me to "just do it!"
