Now for the questions:
- Why and how long ago did you begin blogging?
I've been blogging since August of 2012, and I started blogging as a way for me to share the fun new things I'm doing in my classroom with other teachers. I am the only person in my district (one school district) that teaches the classes that I do so I have no one to collaborate with. I naturally turned to online to find professionals who were willing to share ideas. - What one word sums up the heart of your blog and why? Creativity. I'm constantly trying to find new creative ways to engage my students and keep them on their toes about what we will do next.
- Is there something you learned late in your blog journey you wished you knew before? IT TAKES SO MUCH TIME! As much as I love to blog and find it very reflective, it just takes more time than I have now a day.
- What is your favorite past time other than blogging? I love to spend time with my family and friends. I like shopping, but come on...What girl doesn't? I love to travel but don't do it nearly as much as I would like.
- How many hours per week do you dedicate to your blog? Umm...Lately...NONE! I haven't blogged in so long and I've been doing a lot of new things this year that I'm just dying to share with everyone. I'm working on my time management skills now that I have a baby, so I'll be getting back into it more very soon.
- What category of blog posts do you enjoy the most? I love blogs on cooking, and educational ones (of course!).
- Where does your blog inspiration come from? It comes from my students and hilarious things they do and say every day. The things I blog about were designed for them, so naturally they inspire me every day.
- Which post that you've written are you most proud of? I'm pretty proud of just about everything I've written, because if you know me you know I'm a Math and Science person. So writing and English "stuff" are the things I'm horrible at.
- Is there anything that you've been planning to do but have been postponing it for a while now? I've been planning to take a relaxing vacation for years now but that clearly hasn't happened :)
- What is your favorite aspect of blogging?I love the reflective part. It has made me grow as a teacher and it has also helped me connect with teachers I would not have necessarily ever connected with.
