I have just come off from reading and reflecting on three of my friends blogs(Josh, Stephanie, and Neal). This is such a neat little world. It sparks conversations and thoughts that I’d never be a part of if not connected bloggedly (I would never have created a new word, as I just have just done, if blogs didn’t exsist). For example, in a blog I can tell anyone who reads it that they should read Hemingway’s “Big, Two-Hearted River”: Part I and Part II(this is the text that I am referring to in my first blog). They may read it, or may have already read it, and comment on it or comment on the comments. What a neat little intricate web of love!

I have been thinking of ways I could use blogging when I teach. I was thinking it would be cool to create a blog and post thoughtful entries related to what we were studying(or not) and they could make comments on what I wrote. I have a feeling it might be hard to get them motivated to be involved, considering I probably wouldn’t make it mandatory, but I could give them the blog address and tell them I post my “secret thoughts” there. That might scare them, though. Anyway, got any more ideas?
