I wanted to pop back over to the blog that started it all and mention that with my blogging taking a more professional-personal slant, I have fragmented still further to create another blog in addition to Booknotes from Literacy-chic, which is going strong as I blog my way through Diana Gabaldon's Outlander novels. The new blog is a bit shakier--I am not sure how much material I will have for posts, or how regularly I will post. With a book blog, it is easy--if I need material, I read another book. But the new blog, Teaching, Training, Blogging, will be notes on my current job as a software trainer, submerged in professional and organizational development techniques and lingo, and how insights from my current job could potentially influence undergraduate education. I have a few good ideas to start out with, and after that... who knows? I know I will be discussing the following topics:
- Classroom communication
- Composition and REALLY using computers/software
- Rhetoric and Communication Styles
- Personality-type reflections
- Collaborative course guidelines/class rules
And hopefully, more things will present themselves so that I don't have to feel guilty about cluttering up the internet. Yes, this is something I think about!
