Mrs. Ruiz’s Blog

Ok my initial frustration/irritation has subsided and I’ve decided to rewrite some of what was lost in my 1st post of the day. (Lucky you!)

What I had said before that got eaten by the blog monster was that part of my renewed passion for blogging is to get in the habit of regular writing.  I have always had this deep seeded urge to write, but never sure about what and doubtful that anyone else would care to read it.  So I thought, why blog?  It would be like talking to myself, but I guess I do that already, so what’s the harm?

One of the huge motivators for this is that I am pursing my National Board Certification.  If you have been through this process you are well aware of the amount of writing involved.  Now I realize National Board writing and blogging are really not in the same leauge of writing with the previous being way more academic than my blogging style, but my hope was that through regular blogging I would be less reticent about writing for my portfolio.  As of this point I have yet to write anything significant for my portfolio, but I am in super planning and executing mode, so I know I will have something on paper for my portfolio very soon.  I had hoped to post it here, so I guess it is a good thing that Steve’s 4th assignment was about protecting your content.  I may have something worth stealing one day. haha

Ok I hope the blog monster doesn’t eat this one! (Mrs. Ruiz crosses her fingers…)

I just posted my blog and it appears to have gotten eaten in the process and is not there.  I hate when that happens.  I guess I will have to give you the gist of it…

Assignment 4 was to use Creative Commons to obtain a content license.  I did so and got this:

I said some other stuff, but I am too frustrated at the moment to redo it.  Oh well.
