BIG risk
I woke up this morning thinking about class and all this non-grading and revision stuff. That means I am either a dedicated teacher or I'm a workaholic or I have no life besides work and parenting or maybe a bit of all of the above. Teaching is an art. Creativity comes at odd moments. Let's leave it at that.OK, with each word I write, I'm conscious that my readers are primarily my students. Here's the BIG risk: while thinking about setting up this teaching journal, I keep assuming that I'll have this space -- which is ok for students to read -- and then I'll have another space -- where I can really talk about everything. I'm afraid that if I'm honest about my teaching practice then I might reveal too much, or I might offend readers/students. But I think I need to take the BIG risk of being honest right here. No other secret teaching journal. This is it. Here is where I write about teaching.
I'm also afraid that students will give up on reading my postings...because I tend to write a lot. Blogging stimulates my thoughts, increases my writing. Oh well... that's how I write. And I want to be as honest about my writing as I am about my teaching.

I like the teaching journal thing we have going on for class. It helps you become more computer literate and it's better than going to class. I'm not saying I don't enjoy class, but if all I had to do was check my blog and do work that's assigned then what would be the point of class other than interacting with the students? It's great for me; I like it.
