I think that Michelle has a good point about finding meaningful content.  I think that one of the keys to this is that we enter specific keywords when we post so that our posts will be connected to the content we are writing about or need. 

 That being said, I can't help but post one more thing for everyone to scroll through . . . just to make things interesting, I thought I would share my new avatar (cartoonish, online person-thingy) with you.  I saw one of these on the blog site of another school administrator (Melinda Miller) and decided to create one for myself.  You can create your own at www.meez.com or you can click on the following link to see the animated version of mine:  http://images.meez.com/user/4/8/8/6/2/1/5/4886215_bodyshot_300x400.gif   [You do not have permission to access this file]

Let's remember that our professional learning community of bloggers is in its infancy.  Yes, we have plenty of room for growing into a more purposeful community.

There are roughly 6.5 billion people on earth, about 2.5 billion in China and India, 300 million in the United States, 1.7 million people in Nebraska, and 90,000 in the panhandle. (please double check my math) 

Let's look at the numbers another way.  We, the population of the panhandle make up 0.00139% of the world population.  That means 99.99861% of people in the world live somewhere else.

In the global society of today, technology, specifically Web 2.0, is a tool for keeping us connected to the rest of the world.

So we may be blogging along with only an emerging, purpose, audience, and voice, but we have taken a meaningful step into the future by joining the professional development blogging community.  Keep the blogs coming
