Here I go.

I have never blogged before and was never too successful with journaling either.  I have heard that having kids write out anything they are worried about before an assignment or test lessens their anxiety.  Maybe I should give it a try.  I am worried that I won't be able to come up with enough creative ways of meeting the learning outcomes, that time will burn away and we will be left with untouched curriculum (more than usual), that I will have difficulty keeping enough records and then won't get enough data for the project. 
I know the desire to change the way you do things doesn't always make changing any easier but it does motivate you to take the first step.  I feel relieved that the Different Lens project gave me a place to put my foot down and has such great supporters to move me down the path.  I am already thankful for the blog since I signed on and saw a great lesson from Kent (Thanks).
