Happy 1st Birthday to me!!!

Wow!!! Can you believe it has been a year since I officially started this blog? I remember the first day; I was sitting at a friends house playing on the computer. I was complaining to him (again) about how there are not enough resources on the internet for special education teachers. He suggested that I make my own blog and post resources myself. What a great idea! I considered myself somewhat computer savvy, so I signed up for blogger and my friend bought me a domain at Godaddy.com. I remember writing my first entry, I had no idea what to say because I had no idea who would read it so I decided on an entry about ...drumroll please...... The Georgia Alternate Assessment!  This was actually written March 5th, 09 but I did not start with the Analytics until April 10th so thats when I consider the start date. Since then my site has grown immensly. Below are some facts about the site http://www.specialeducationteacher.me/ :

I could not have reached these numbers without my visitors and I thank you. My goal for next year is to double these numbers, I would also like to include more resources and updates about my life as a special educator. I get lots of comments asking me about certain projects or ideas and it seems as though my readers enjoy reading about what goes on with me. Well I will keep you posted! If everyone could reach out to one person and share this sites URL it would be fantastic! Also if you are a continuing reader please comment to this entry, I would like you to send me your email (if possible) and a link to your site (if possible). Trying to personally collect visitor data. Thank you again!
