What Rules?
I left class this past week feeling quite cocky -- feeling so techologically literate. The next day I told some teacher friends that I now have a blog. They were impressed... So why has it taken me so long to post a new entry? Why I am I hesitating in posting comments on others blogs? I realize that I am not sure what to write. There appear to be no guidelines on blogging, no structure. I am looking for format. In the literacies of the past, there was format--there were rules. I suddenly have new compassion for my students who come up to me complaining that they don't know what to write in their dialogue journals... Therefore, I am resolving to write regularly without getting hung up on mechanics. After all, this is what I ask of my students in their journaling.

I agree! What rules? I've found there really is no rhyme or reason to the comments we post. I was unsure of what to write too. But I find that it is nice to write just whatever we feel, whether we respond to others comments, give them feedback on their blogs, or tell about our lives. And yes, that is what I encourage my students to do. (But in first grade, I still get "I don't know what to write!") I like not having a format, no pressure!!!! C U!
