Things 1 and 2

I am participating in 23 Things because I want to use some new computer applictions in my English classroom. I would like a place where students can go to talk to each other about literature and writing. I want to learn about all the possibilities, but also I want to become more comfortable using them. Honestly, reading the article and watching the video made me nervous. I know my own children and my students are so much more advanced in their ability to use the computer creatively that I fear I will never catch up to them. My hope is that doing this work will erase some of my apprehension.
