Voice: "Will the revolution be blogged?"
\nAll the people: "Hell yeah!" <\/p>\n

Got that out the way.  It’s been said a time or two–it won’t be
\nblogged, it will be blogged, it won’t be blogged–so many daisy petals, so few
\nrevolutions.  I’m wanting to talk shop here, talk pedagogy tonight, but I’m
\nin the midst of a set of mini-essays from humanities on Geertz’ Balinese
\ncockfight and the notion of common ground.  Sore eyes.  A few loose
\nends of prep for Thursday a.m.<\/p>\n

About that: we’re using the EN106
\nblog<\/a> this week as a note-sharing space.  I’m using all of the links
\nfrom TWiaOW<\/a>
\nfor the Point\/PowerPoint<\/i> sequence and then some.  We’re basically
\nreading the issue of efficiency in poorly conceived slide shows–the rationing
\nof language brought on by bullet points with the ever-popular PP program. 
\nWe’re also using the sequence as a way to talk about the articles and
\ninformation credibility, especially as it applies to blog entries.  Here
\nare the links from the PPT sequence, in case anyone is interested in how the
\npopular business software continues to get attention (and not because it’s in
\nthe biggest letters, as BULLET POINT A):<\/p>\n

Honestly, this list serves a second purpose.  I want to be able to
\nsend it any time I receive a PowerPoint show that would work better as a
\ntraditionally formatted page.  Since I started thinking about this
\nsequence, my inflow of PowerPoint shows at work is at an all time high. 
\nMaybe PowerPoint is soo<\/i> powerful that the mounting of critiques creates some
\nkind of karmic vacuum–PowerPoint skepticism met cosmically by a surge
\nof colorfully-themed shows rushed to the doubter’s inbox.  Two shows were
\nsent my way in the past week.  One was a self-evaluation for whether or not you<\/i>
\n(dear reader) would be a fit candidate for teaching courses online. (Slide One:
\nAre you technically proficient with checking email?)  The other involves
\nstaff encounters with media–how to talk to reporters. (Slide Fourteen: 1. Speak
\nin short, concise sentences.  There is no such thing as "off the
\nrecord.") Time for an analysis likening PowerPoint to The Blob<\/i>. 
\nSeriously.  <\/p>\n

I’ve got to get back to finishing touches on my night’s work (which, sorry to
\nsay, blog, ain’t this).  But I wanted to plant another seed about divergent
\nuses for blogs in teaching composition.  I’ve been following the
\ndiscussions about the ways blogs hinge on concomitant reading and writing (via here<\/a>
\nand here<\/a>)
\nand also about the way blogs might be put to fairly limited uses by some
\ncomposition teachers (here<\/a>). 
\nI can’t say that I’m addressing all or any of those important concerns in this
\nentry, but I am happy to chronicle my own discovery and rediscovering this
\nsemester of the social dimension of blogs.  Blogs turn narrow conceptions of reading and writing
\nas private, independent, and isolationist upside down in favor of an extracurricular<\/i>
\nliteracy network–a connected arena of extraspatial (beyond the walls we meet
\nbetween) contact and community.  And, of course, there’s more to it than I
\ncan plow through just now in the interest of convening tomorrow as a potentially
\njubilant day.  But I want to note the latest activity I’m toying with–a
\nkind of bum-rush annotated bibliography via course blog–and say that I’m not
\nsure how I would have done it better before blogs converged with my
\nteaching.  In short, students in teams (two to an article) are writing
\nsummative paragraphs for the first six articles from the set listed above. 
\nWe’ll review the notes as a group next Tuesday, talk about ways the sources
\nmight contribute to their upcoming essay projects and so on.  Setting a
\ncategory and enabling a simple search makes it possible for students to access
\nand share work they’ve done outside of class time.  Admittedly, this is my
\nfirst semester teaching with a weblog, so I can’t be sure what will happen.  I suppose that’s what
\n we<\/i> could use–a record of best practices, if
\nonly anecdotal evidence, of the many ways weblogs are growing<\/i> the
\npossibilities for invigorating pedagogy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
