First blog post ever!

This is my very first blog post and I am very excited to learn more about blogging.  I am looking forward to finding out how I can use this in a classroom with students.  I would like to see how I can relate the blog to a writing activity for the students to complete at home or even in school.  I would also like to find a teacher in a different country to create a pen pal situation with the classrooms this way the students can learn about the different cultures.
