The blog is back.
It's been over a year since I've blogged, but I'm getting back into it because I want to force my students to blog next semester, and I thought I'd be all egalitarian and blog with them. I'm starting a month early so I can have some posts to show them when class starts. I'm also moving to blogger because I think it will be more classroom-friendly, not that our students are necessarily tech-savvy. I thought these kids grew up on computers and the iPods, but I guess not.
So, the old blog is over on my MySpace page. I can't seem to find a direct link to the blog anymore, but I imagine if you can click on that hyperlink, you can figure out how to follow the links on my profile page to the blogs. You can also find my blog for the Star-News
here. I try to write for that about twice a month, usually on Thursdays, and it is exclusively about video game stuff.
This new blog will probably be more about classroom activities and such than about sports, like the old blog. It'll mostly be a way to communicate with my students. But I'll probably run out of things to say to them and write about sports, video games, TV, etc. like I used to.
That being said, I'm not putting my picks for the remainder of the NFL season on here because Jenny and I are in a pretty tight race (despite my lame performance last week), and I don't want to give her any advantage.
Santa Ski is this weekend, and I probably won't post again before that. If you read this before then, you should probably be there.
Now for the good-old-fashioned Question of the Day:
Should the question of the day reemerge from the ashes of the MySpace blog?
My take: Sure. Why not?

Yes!! Bring back QOD!! You can at least have a sports shout out in every blog. That way I'll have something to comment about. Do your students call you Mr. Sherrick?? We don't even call Stew Mr. Sherrick. I can't see any of you being a Mr. Sherrick. Probably because I know you.
ReplyDeleteyes, have a question of the day. this is charles speaking.
ReplyDeletehmm, so somehow it knew who i was? word. way to go google and blogspot.
ReplyDeletealso, its about time you blogged again.
think the questions should be total random and thought provoking
ReplyDeleteAlso want to post a challange to any wimps out there reading this about santa skiing - Byron has said it best............
Holly - You could be the first Santa Skiing Queen - up for it?
Congrats on you're return Bidsom's Blog. You had an untimely demise, Family Guy style and its good to have you back.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Bring back the QoD. And quit being a wuss and post your picks.
Also I hope your students read your first blog where you trash them for being technilogically illiterate. Damn where's the spell check?
