After much consideration, I’ve decided to leave edublogs and migrate the classroom blog to another blogging site. 

Edublogs was great while it lasted.  I think it would be a great starting point for any teacher out there who wants to introduce blogging to their students.  I think it would be a great starting point for any student out there that wants to start their own blog.  It is extremely easy to use, so the beginner wouldn’t get discouraged because of their technophobia.

My next step would be to actually pay for a blogging service.  I have a few more things to buy before I start paying for something that I get for free anyway. 

So…the new classroom blog will be located at http://mrgranito.wordpress.com

Please update your bookmarks.  Please update your rss readers. Please update anything.

There will be another debate tonight.  Hopefully, the candidates will not repeat themselves as much as they did on the previous debate.  I highly doubt that.

There is no extra-credit attached to this debate, but I think you’ll benefit if you watch it.

I believe the action starts at 9 pm.  It might be past your bedtime, so don’t worry if you miss it.  We’ll be watching clips of it in class.
