April, I think your blog idea is great. I have been away from blogging since last spring, and I didn't realize I was on your blog until I started working on my Writing Commons group blogs for Understanding English Grammar.I thought I'd let you know that this Friday Dave Sullivan from College of Business will be presenting at the WIC lunch. His topic is online peer review. He has set up a system

Thanks, April, for hosting this very cool blog. I love the title "Write Like Mad!" It's one I can connect with as both a writer and a teacher of writing. I know you're writing like mad over the break on your thesis, and I can't wait to read your thoughts.

Thanks so much for your quotes from James Paul Gee's book What Video Games Have to Teach Us About Learning and Literacy in your "Educational Blogging: A Writer's Place" paper because they are intriguing for the work that Michael and I are doing on creating online identities, competent participants, and projecting oneself into a specific community. I will have to get that book and read what Gee

If anyone is interested, I have a pressing question as I work on my thesis: How doesthe way we (as writers/students/teachers?) view response change when that response comes from writing we have posted on the Web? As opposed to the response we get within a classroom? I'm not even sure how to ask this. Posting writing on a blog opens us up to response from a much wider audience, so the awareness

What a great opportunity to be a contributor to this blog by my friend and colleague April. Working with April at OSU in our composition program is a great joy, and I know what an asset she is to our students. I just wish we had more time to visit - maybe next year when she has her MA and is working? Here's a link to my blog - to which I wish I posted more frequently. Maybe being on both

I noticed when I read April's "Entering the Conversation Essay" that she wrote:I’m afraid that women’s blogs just don’t get the status or attention that men’s blogs do. Perhaps more personally, I’m afraid I might not have much to say that would interest anyone else. As a woman, I don’t really expect my words to interest anyone but other women (am I a dinosaur to think that way?). That concerns me

Entering the ConversationThe Blog, the real world, and the ClassroomAs we read about literacy and the changing views in terms of just what that term means for individuals who use the information superhighway we also call the web, I become more and more fascinated with the idea of blogging. I begin to wonder how this online source could be used advantageously by a single person, and from there, I

I'm reading an article called "Content Delivery in the Blogosphere," and I'm fascinated! When the idea of doing a seminar paper on blogging was first introduced, I felt reluctant. What could I say that could be interesting? But as I read this article, I'm beginning to understand what kind of potential the blogosphere has. For one thing, the pedagogy behind using blogs for educational purposes (

I'm writing a seminar paper on educational blogging, and I thought that the best place to start (once I did a little research) was to set up a blog and see how it might work. I'm hoping other people might post comments about educational blogging, and about how we might use it for helping students learn to write across disciplines.
