Introductions

There's no real interesting way to do these things, unless you're exceptionally witty or creative. Which I have my moments, but let's face it; introductions are always fairly stale. I can't splash as much as I'd like to.

So real simply, I go by Woody. Like in Toy Story. Not in a dirty way. I'm a student at the University of Maine, majoring in secondary education and concentrating in English. So, one day, I'll be a high school English teacher. This does not you give you permission to correct my grammar. I am always right. Always.

This particular blog was created for an Education and Technology class. We've been asked to respond to articles and concepts within a blog to help us become more familiar with what they're like. My teacher is rather obsessed with Will Richardson's book "Blogs, Wikis, Podcasts, and Other Powerful Web Tools for Classrooms." I can see why. It's an interesting, easy read and comes from real-life examples.

Most likely, this space will be used to review other blogs and blogging techniques and uses. For instance, look forward to hearing about Clay Burrell's blog Beyond School. It will also have some class assignments within, because that is really the purpose for this blog. No doubt, my readers will mostly be students within the class and family members who are so obsessed that they follow just to feel closer to me. However, if you do not fall into either category, please leave me comments! I'd love to hear your suggestions and insight to my writings.
