Ahhhh . . . I just read the first set of blog posts for our common reading. I love hearing my students' perspectives. They ask great questions, too.
I have to admit, I took a long time to get motivated to read the blogs. For some reason, sitting down with a stack of papers or journals is much more appealing to me than logging in. I'm not sure why. Then, when I finally read and respond, it is a fun thing to do. I think I will check in with students tomorrow to see how blogging is working out for them.
