Is Jonas Dead?

I want to explore English in the Inner-City classroom with this blog.  I am nervous as I have never blogged before, but I am excited about what I might find.  I hope to keep this topic fairly focused, but since I am new to blogging, I may end up with information overload.  As long as I keep interested in research I think I will do well.

I have the education sections of the New York Times and CNN.com, as well as Allendale’s weather from weather.com in my feed.  It is always a good idea to know what the weather will be.  I have the Dehavilland Blog and Education Wonks in my feed as well.  Finally, I have google news searches for ‘Inner-city English’ and ‘Standardized Test English’ in my feed.  I can’t wait to explore the capabilities of this blog and my feed in greater depth. English seems like a ‘dusty book and chalkboard’ subject; I’m excited to learn about a different technological approach.
