New Goal for Next Year find more invotative ways to make history fun

I think at the end of each teaching year: How can I improve my teaching methods?  Next year my goal is to use more technology in my teaching.  I want to get the students excited about learning, and I have decided to start using blogging with discussion questions for their homework.  In my county we usually have 20 snow days a year.  If the students can have access to my blog, they can leave comments to the discussion questions.  By using blogging I will be using an e-learning tool that more 21st century compared to the 20th century textbook learning only.
