I have to admit. This blog is fairly pathetic, as I find myself preoccupied by the mundane, the small things.
As such, I want to pep this up a bit and turn this blogging experience into a bit of an experiment. I want to connect with you, my students.
You'll need to start your own blog and connect it to mine. Try to find a way to create a username that I might recognize (along with your classmates). Or you might email me and let me know your username, so I can identify you and give you proper credit for yor work.
Use this space wisely. The goal is to consider your audience. I recommend making your blog semi-private or public. You want to experience the larger audience here to test your ideas.
I will never comment negatively to your ideas, even if I disagree. I will simply test them. I want you to disagree with me. I am not looking for a classroom of "mini-me"s.
Engage with each other, but be respectful that we are different and have differing opinions. Remember rhetorical thinking. Remember kindness.
Let's get started!
(1) Create your blog.
(2) Make sure I can see it.
(3) Complete the first blog post: Blog about the ideas of narratives and/or the ideas in the readings about learning/writing/education. Tell me about your experience with any one of those...
