First Week of Blogging

Well, so far in my reading of your blogs, I'm impressed. Those of you who have posted entries on the readings are taking the authors' and your own ideas seriously (except for Wii, This is Fun--but I liked that, too). Many insightful posts and comments. So far, not all group members are posting on others' posts, but I'll check back after the week ends. We'll see. For now, I find that I've enjoyed reading and responding to you, and I hope you have, too. This seems far more interesting than reading posts on Blackboard, which I've done for many courses in the past. It's fun to see some of "you" on your pages and to see the range of interests you are weaving into the conversations--visually and verbally. Dr. L

P.S. On typos on blogs: I'm not a great typist and I respond quickly. I tolerate a modest number of typos easily--in my own and others' informal writing. I did correct one entry because my typo made the sentence unreadable. Remember that this is "informal writing" made "somewhat public," so we'll find the right balance for ourselves. I do appreciate well-crafted prose even on blogs, and everywhere else for that matter, but only in polished projects do I get absolutely persnickety about proofreading. Forewarned.
