Helloo everyone!
As you can see, I am using my blog for multiple classes. My
introduction entry titled “Welcome” does include an amusing attempt at an
introduction video, so please feel free to laugh at my poor effort to construct
audible sentences and talk about myself for one minute.
For my first entry in EDTECH 597 class, I plan to share some
thoughts on where my head is at regarding the creation of “my” blog. Right now,
the hardest part of blogging is the role it will play in my life. Blogging as a
student within given assignments seems very comfortable but also somewhat
restricting, since I find myself writing towards a more one on one audience,
myself and the professor. Greg Weiler discussed this in: Using Webloggs in
the Classroom, The English Journal, Vol. 92, No.5, The Power of
Imagination. (May, 2003), and I can completely understand that drawback.
Realizing that this will extend to a larger audience, I think I need to find a
niche for my blog that is both graduate school content driven as well as sharing
information that truly interests me and whoever
maybe my audience. That is the next hurdle, because I have a wide variety of
professional interests. Right now education technology has taken over my life
and my reading, but my professional career requires me to be a content expert
in economics and business. With that said, I feel those differing subjects
might be too wide a scope and not be the most effective way to blog. The good
news I is that learning effective blogging techniques personally and professionally
is what we are all here for right? No
matter what, I look forward to working with everyone. Thanks for letting me ramble and for stopping
by!
