Thing #2 My Attitude About Blogging

I have mixed feelings about blogging. I love to talk/communicate so a blog gives me a wider audience. I love sharing the things that I learn and learning from others, yet another plus for blogs.  On the flip side of that thought, for me, is that I live with a technology safety guy and continually hear his words of caution in my head with every social media introduced into our lives.  From an educational stand it is necessary to be in the midst of social media to stay connected and open to the next learning tool.

Thing #1-Love Google, I use it as my main account. Love their apps. I can't do without Google Calendar and how it links all my families activities together and emails us all of dates to remember!
