Homecoming - Fun or Not???

Ahhhh! The joys of homecoming. Are there any? I mean really, what is this all about anyway. Why do we celebrate homecoming? To tell the truth I never "went back" to any homecoming once I had graduated from high school. It was "see you never again" Pioneer High School. While in high school we never really had this dress-up thing going on. Sometimes good (fashion disaster/nerd day) and sometimes not so much (celebrity/Hollywood). We did build floats, but I only helped on my senior float. Do you like homecoming and all the fuss? Is it just about football, or dressing-up, or assemblies, or ????? Where did all this hoopla come from anyway. Why did they ever start a homecoming?

Please comment on my blog and tell me when the first homecoming was (hint: it was not at a high school). Also, include three things that they did special for that first homecoming. Please copy and past the URL into your response.

In your own blog today, tell me what homecoming means to you. Are you likely to return to Sand Creek for homecoming once you have graduated? Why/Why not? Tell me your favorite homecoming moment or specific event or specific activity. Finally, do you participate at the assembly? Why/why not?

Boy is that a lot of questions or what?!? Have a great homecoming! Enjoy all of the events!

And...off we go blogging

Day 1! Today we start blogging. Sometimes I will blog and tell you what to blog about and other times it will be up to you to blog. You will be blogging weekly and there will be some class time to do this. You may (and I encourage this) blog at any time about anything. When I blog, I might also ask you to comment on my blog about a particular topic.

So...today I would like you to blog about blogging. Tell me (in your blog) your thoughts about the concept of blogging and how you think this is a Web 2.0 application. Include why you think so many people enjoy blogging. Also, do you think you will enjoy this experience? Why/why not??

Finally, you will need to comment on my blog. Please tell me your thoughts about the whole process of setting up your blog. Easy? Difficult?

Oops, one more thing. You must use correct spelling in your blogs. No "text" type writing! Thanks and enjoying your blogging experience!!
