No introspection today--just the facts.
Class was fine. 3 presentations on articles read (including a web-available powerpoint presentation that is very much on topic for us--I'll dig up the url asap), and 3 on personal blogging. Not sure we really pushed into the secondary material the way I had hoped to. I feel like I have under-assigned readings, imaging that the students would be reading more actively and widely.
then i talked for 20 minutes. oops. gotta remember to plan more variety. i realized that having the class listen to each other for 30 minutes, followed by 20 minutes from me, is not real breaking things up very much.
i feel like the class might be close to breaking through, breaking out, into blogdom; i'm going to try and be patient and not force the issue.
Filtered a new essay from CCC, "From Analysis to Design: Visual Communication in the TEaching of Writing" that might interest you both. Later.
