Life-Long Learner

Well, a new day has begun (at 4:40 am actually) and I’ve decided that I need to rethink what I am learning about blogging and what my motivation is when I am blogging.

So I started with the presentation of my blog. I was thrilled to discover all of the interesting and very helpful tips available through edublogs.org. For example Gail Desler has developed a wonderful introductory resource on edublogs. Another great resource was on changing your display name (which I needed to upgrade desparately). There is so much to learn about blog presentation. Anyways, to assist any of you who are like me and learning about blogging and navigating edublogs, I encourage you to visit The Edublogger. I found it very useful to personalizing my blog.

My next area of focus is the motivation behind my blogs. To date, I’ve been floundering. I set up this blog account as a direct result of my ECMP 355 class at the University of Regina. I understand that I am to use the blog to reflect and communicate online through a social and professional network. So occasionally I would include random thoughts, reply to other blogs, and link to interesting sites or videos that I may have come across. This is all well, but I need more structure, so I’ve come to the conclusion that I will post two kinds of blogs: journalling my blog learning process (including challenges and celebrations) and posting interesting educational finds.

So as Part I of The Blogging Journey, I am quite happy with all that I have learned today about managing and manipulating my blog presentation.

Take care and have a wonderful day.
