Hello and welcome to Mrs. Schmidt's blog. Let me give you a brief background on who I am, what I want to accomplish and what I hope we can gain from using the WWW. I have been teaching High School Agriculture for the past 10 years in Iowa. It has been an incredibly rewarding job and I absolutely love it. I currently have 30 FFA members and teach a variety of classes including Animal Science, Horticulture, Ag Business, Landscape Design, Conservation, and much more. A month ago, I attended the High School Summit held in Des Moines, Iowa and as I sat through different sessions, the wheels started turning and here I am today. As part of a classroom grade, students will be creating their own weebly site and using it to post what they are working on in class. I will be posting weekly assignments on my page for students to work on. My intent is to help students explore the art of blogging and increase the focus on reading, writing, and appropriate use of technology in my classroom. I look forward to learning about this new adventure right along with my students!
