Thing 1 and Thing 2

Welcome to my new blog! My name is Melissa and I am a special education teacher working with upper elementary aged students with Autism.

I am participating in RESA's 23 Things because I am eternally curious. Lately, that curiosity has been sparked about Web 2.0 and how I can identify and apply new tools to help my students learn. So, when I received word about TWENTY-THREE possible tools, I was hooked!

From Thing 1, I was inspired by the use of teacher blogs to promote cross-curricular planning and professional development.

I spend a lot of time online sharing with and following others and I think I have been a bit desensitized to fear of putting myself 'out there' on the Internet. I try to take some measures to protect privacy where necessary, but really, I don't find myself censoring what I say because it is on the Internet.
