Why is Mr. Mills Using a Blog?
Well, for this year, I have abandoned SchoolNotes in favor of this blog format. Why have I done this?
1) It is easier to edit.
2) It is more interactive.
3) It allows me to introduce the students to blogs and use it in the classroom.
4) In my opinion, it is more interesting.
Among other things, this blog will be used to discuss what is happening in fine arts, as well as what is happening in my new positon as the Murray technology coordinator. I hope you will find this format as exciting as I do and see the value of using the “social” internet as a powerful tool in teaching our students.
Also, I have another blog which is more personal, but still encompasses my love of education, art, and technology. It can be found at:

I look forward to seeing this become a successful part of my teaching practice!
