Do as I say and not as I do?

Being new to Globaloria this year, I have learned lots of knew and cool things. It has been (and still is) difficult for me to get used to writing down and publishing my thoughts pertaining to the program and student progress. It is not difficult to comment on someone else's work but no fun for me to just sit down and start banging on the keys. So, it has been a few weeks since I have written anything in this blog. (I feel like I have gone to a priest and said, "Forgive me Father for it has been 3 weeks since my last confession)--No disrespect intended, but you get the parallel?

As a teacher, I should be a leader and example to my students. But if there is one thing (of many) that I have learned during my few years of teaching is that I continue to learn everyday and continue to get caught up in things that help me sympathize with my students' lag in keeping up too. Therefore, I must make sure I lead by a "good" example and thus gain justification in griping at them for not keeping up...right?
