Let's blog it out

What is the purpose of this blog? My hope is that it will enhance community, knowledge, dialogue, reading, writing, critical thinking, tech skills, humor and many other essential functions necessary for a classroom and a democracy. As a teacher of students who is tasked with focusing on social studies I am going to see how this blog can be used to make the learning experiment in room 101 at Tahoma High School a little more fun. We'll see!
