Hello Students,

Welcome to Google Blogger, a cool new tool that you will add to your technology repertoire. Instead of doing a paper scrapbook for Much Ado About Nothing, you will create a blog that fulfills the same criteria. This way, you can use images of your own or from the web, comment on classmates' blogs, get feedback from your teachers and your classmates, and never lose your work!

We will be embarking on this journey together in our quest to marry the past with the present...let's call it "Shakespeare in the 21st Century". I am excited to learn Blogger along with you, and there will certainly be obstacles on our journey. However, if we persist, remain open to continuous learning, and work interdependently, we will enjoy ourselves while we learn things from the past and the present.

I hope you are ready because here we go!
