My First Ever Blog!

Dear all,

Look at me, I'm officially a blogger! Thank you to Shannon for recommending this wonderful blogging site.

Blog Spot is an internet service that will allow me to create an interactive blog for free! This is what I will use during my upcoming travels to keep in touch with family and friends. I will be able to keep in touch via text, photos, and video updates.

This site will serve two purposes:
1) My blog spot will be my primary means of communicating, updating, and keeping in touch with my family and friends. This site will offer a portal into my travels and experiences. Look for written updates, and photos and videos from my journey. Also, this blog is a two way street. Please feel free to use my blog to communicate, update, and keep in touch with ME. Comments and messages welcome!!

2) My blog spot will serve as an education resource for my students, both present and past. I hope to use my blog as a link between my student in South Africa and my students in the the US. I understand the uniqueness of this international opportunity and want to be able to share it with my students. To this site, I hope to add educational information in the form of written text, photos, videos, and external links. And, most importantly, my blog spot URL (jeffginter.blogspot.com) is school district friendly, meaning you will be able to view my site on your school district server. Amazing, I know! This means whatever educational material I share on my site, will be able to be shared in your school.....hopefully!

3) I know....I only said I had two purposes....but I thought of one more. Seeing as I just spent a good 45 minutes on my first blog, my blog spot will be useful in the area of "time wasting". And, seeing as I have much time before me, as in 86 days, 13 hrs, 36 mins, 34 secs before I leave for South Africa, I have a lot of room available in my schedule for "time wasting".

WOW! I think that's enough for now...this blogging stuff is a lot more strenuous than you'd think! This has officially been my first ever blog, hopefully many more to come!

Thank your for listening...or reading!
