Creating a blog on Blogger

Creating a blog on Blogger is extremely easy and enjoyable.  The site is user friendly, and the user does not need any special technical knowledge.  All a user needs is to have a subject matter in mind, follow a few prompts, and they are able to publish.  A user can even create several blogs under the same username and publish them separately.  This is very easy to do also.  I did not experience too many difficulties or challenges in creating my blog. 

Introduction Post

My name is Kami Lawrence, and welcome to my blog.  I am currently in a Masters degree program in Teaching and Learning with Technology at Ashford University.  This blog will contain posts about my thoughts on educational technology and its usefulness in the classroom.  I was drawn to educational technology because of its potential in connecting classrooms and students around the world into a collaborative learning environment.  I am especially fond of technologies such as Google Documents, Wikis, and social media.  These technologies allow students from all over the world to collaborate on projects, even creating and editing a single document together despite living so far apart.  These types of technologies are truly shrinking the world and making quality distance education possible.
