Is there such a thing?
4Apr2005 Filed under: blogging Author: Marcia HansenI don’t think Donna is too excited about blogging. I wish we could talk about these issues more in class. You know, if we talked about our public identities as teachers and private/public identities as students, there might be connection points with blogging and creating a public identity that we could draw.
I just posted a reply to Donna‘s post over on Comp Teaching where she links to a conversation about blogging being an example of professional writing.
Let me say right here. I don’t intend this blog to be a traditional, resume-quality, professional writing site. I consider it an academic, wallow-in-complexity type site. I know, I know…it’s all out here in the public so my saying so doesn’t necessarily make it so. :/

I read your first sentence and thought: what? But I *am* excited about blogging! How can you say I’m not excited about blogging? (Maybe I was feeling a little defensive after reading Collin’s latest entry and realizing, oh woe is me, I’m still behind.)
Anyway, I managed to put the sentence into the context of what I posted over on the class blog and realized you were defending my excitement. So: thanks!
And I think you’re right about excellent connections that could be made between blogging and our professional personae. I’m just feeling like there’s only so much about blogging I can say in class without losing folks. Should I push those limits more?

You’re so right. I read my first sentence again, and it could be read either way. Sorry about that! I think you are plenty excited about blogging. So am I!
Has anybody actually said we talk too much about blogging? I don’t know where everyone is on their tolerance meter. I don’t think we talk too much about blogging, but then I’m a proponent!
I think the issues about public personae we could talk about whether or not we made the connections in class to blogging.
We could talk more about the personal blogs and how we feel about them. I’d like to do whatever I can to help people feel more inspired about blogging.
By the way, did people object privately to putting the blogroll on CompTeaching?
I wonder if anybody is interested in using blogs in their comp classes next semester?

No one objected to putting up the blogroll. I went back to the email you sent me at the beginning of the semester but found that the script for the blogroll wasn’t working. So then I figured out what was wrong, and I thought I fixed it, but I think something else went wrong. I can’t remember; this was right before Cs. I was going to go back and figure out what was wrong but haven’t. My lameness!
