Creating a Learning Community

A new technology does not wipe out what went before; it transforms and enhances it. When people started writing, they didn't quit talking.
Walter Ong, (2002). Orality and Literacy: The Technologizing of the Word. Taylor & Francis, Inc.

This is my first experience blogging. Creating a classroom culture where everyone's voice is heard is certainly enhanced by this technology! Responding, thinking, and wrestling with ideas to tell each of our "stories" facilitates building a strong learning community where new ideas will certainly emerge.
