Ms Cowburn at Masaya Volcano

They finally did it. My Principal, Ms. Johnson and our Media Specialist, Dr. Coleman have gotten me to blog!!! I resisted having my own blog for so long, as they pulled me through Twitter, skype, digital cameras/ video equipment, United Streaming, and countless other technology tools. But the time has come. I will be going on an adventure in March, 2008 and this Blog is part of a much bigger plan to bring the experience into classrooms. I am not certain as I write this what kinds of tools we will use, but my idea is to have anyone who wants to be part of my trip, to be able to participate. The adventure is to Masaya Volcano in Nicaragua with Earthwatch Institute. (Earthwatch.org) I intend to build (over the next few weeks) a network of anyone who wants to join me – teachers, students, curious learners… I will also be announcing on this blog, which other Internet tools I plan on using, so that you can hopefully see me and converse while I am at the site of the volcano.
