Would you record the whole class or just do "outtakes"? I have never read "Bleak House" but enjoyed your podcast. You picked an interesting passage that teases the listener into picking up the book to find out what is going on. Great way to get students and adults interested in reading.

Don't worry about feeling rushed with your first podcast. One of the goals of this course is to allow flexibility to the participants. I like your idea of using podcasts as a way for absent students to get missed assignments. It's probably too time consuming to do on a regular basis, but during those times of the year when so many students are out; like band trips, the Tuesday before Thanksgiving, etc. it may be a helpful resource. Could some of your tech-savvy advisory students help you create it on a weekly basis? Maybe as a recap of what was covered? Welcome back into town!

The second year of teaching is sooo much better than the first. Sorry, English teachers (although I am one myself, at times) I had to stress the 'so.' This past year was my second year teaching as well. I don't know if it was the different school district or different subject, but I enjoyed it a lot more. I went from teaching 9th grade English and Pre-Ap English to 7-8th grade Multimedia, Yearbook and Newspaper. How is it being a new teacher but not a young new teacher? Sometimes it seems like some students don't have as much respect for young/young looking teachers. I also feel like Susan, it seems like the "real world" takes our job for granted. I mean if it wasn't for teachers/educators/training those people wouldn't be where they are today. You would think that they would cut us some slack and help us out. I also like the black and white photos. Very nice. What kind of camera are you using? And who are your subjects? I agree. The second year of teaching is sooo much better than the first.

I, too, have great hopes of posting more frequently on my own edublog and communicating with other teachers who I've learned so much from through their blogs. I really enjoyed browsing the dy/dan blog...it seems like he sparks many good debates among teachers that I'm interested in getting in on. I'm relatively new to the educational blogging world--any other favorites you have among that community? Thanks!

I must say I am having a hard time myself finding some I want to subscribe to either on my RSS or even link from my blog. If you run across some that tie in to Art - tessalations, perspective, using rulers could you pass them over to me? Maybe I go google those topics? Hmmm? And your picture of Carmela is beautiful - I love the blurry background and that gorgeous blue bowl she has curled herself into! I think that is why we have animals around - to make us laugh, because only a cat can do that! Have a good evening, Angie Hi Cara,

As I was reading your blog I felt myself nodding in agreement with so many of the things you said. I've always been horrible about keeping up with diaries, hate it when bloggers I like to read don't update often enough, and I too have been a "lurker" for quite some time. I think if you wanted to switch to a blog instead of a teacher web next year, that wouldn't be a problem. There are teachers throughout the district that have chosen different websites as their means of communication with parents. As long as the communication piece is there and updated regularly, then it's not a problem. Happy blogging! Hi Cara,

I remember his blog was up for an award through edubloggers and I figured that was the best way to find good sites: I was looking at all the candidates and his was close to the top. Through his blog I found other bloggers who I have since lost! I should have added them to my RSS. Ah well. Hi Cara,

It makes me miss mine. You're right that blogging regularly is critical. This year I set a particular day (trash day for me) to get the blog complete and published. That's not to say that my blog is trashy :-) I just wake up thinking, "Tuesday, I need to put out the trash and put out my blog." Debby Loved you cat photo! It makes me miss mine.
