Why the blog? Why Maple Syrup? What the...#@$!?

Hey all -
So Jared, Nicole and I had a brainstorm last night at the bah. We decided to start a blog for us to keep in touch after we graduate (sniff sniff) and also a venue for us to share lesson plans and bounce brilliant ideas off one another (or if they are crappy ideas...we'll have an honest forum to tell eachother so). Also, as we start teaching, wherever that may be, it will give us a chance to share our experiences, problems, issues, and success stories (and oh there will be so many).

But why the hell are we called the Maple Syrup Crew you ask? I have no idea. Don't ask me. I was just put in charge of creating the blog. But who doesn't like maple syrup? We're in New England after all...

If you don't want to participate, fine. But we'll mutter tsk tsk under our breaths. (I'm not really sure who "we" is...but I know "we" will.)

So....without further ado, let's start bloggin away. I'd like to invite Jared to start it off by sharing his brilliant "wiki-space" link and posting a little info about that so we can all grow with new-age-technology-knowledge and enlighten our future students and impress the syrup out of our future colleagues and administrators.

Cheers!
Filiz
