Introduction

My name is Rhonda Boggs and I am the Media Specialist at Sammy McClure Middle School in Paulding County. I have a little experience with blogging and have set up my own which is linked to my media page on our school web site. It is a blog intended for students and me to interact about books we are currently reading. I want to find ways that my teachers can effectively use blogs in their classrooms. I am familiar with Second Life, some social bookmarking sites, using wikis, and other 2.0 applications. I recently attended NECC in June and the Georgia Educational Technology Conference just last month. Now my mission is to convince my teachers to use some of the applications to appeal to our students and gain their interest.
