Day 25:

I don't have a lot to say today about student projects as they are working independently right now. As far as blogging, the one thing I have experienced is a lack of consistent motivation on my part. Maybe that is true because I am not getting any comments which would mean that I have an audience. It is difficult to research and write about your experiences when no one will read - no one cares. So lesson #1: Blogging is a form of writing. For writing you are more fulfilled when you have a purpose and an audience. For writing you are more fulfilled when you get feedback about your ideas. Hence, unless a blog is on a topic in which people are interested, there will be no audience or feedback. I wonder if my students' are feeling this same malaise.
