Just so you know why blogging may come and go in spurts. However, I am trying some new things in my professional writing class that I want to blog about. Also, I am co-teaching a course, Introduction to Composing with Digital Media, that I really must blog about soon. I will do the audio and web portions of the class. The other instructor is doing the visual/Photoshop and video portion.

Thesis: This is it. It has to get finished. I’m graduating this semester. I will be writing daily. I’m feeling good about it too — a very inspiring atmosphere of late has me feeling optimistic about my own research and writing. It’s amazing what a good haircut and a few other discussions will do. :)

January 30: Columbia Literacy Academy, follow-up talk to the one I gave in November. Will show examples of how teachers are using blogs in their classrooms. My talk: 20 minutes 40 minutes on tech/q&a, Group: ~20

February 28: Missouri Western State University, 1 hour presentation and moderate follow-up forum/panel, Topic: Becoming Literate in a Digital Age: Why networked communications require nuanced responses (or something like that). Audience: 50?

March 1: MWSU, Workshop on blogging with high school students and possibly instructors. 25-30? Time?

March 23: 4C’s Talk on WAC and Digital Literacies.
