One of the conversations we'll start next week and continue throughout the semester will be to discuss blogs as a genre. Who is the audience for our blog? What are the implications of the public nature of blogs? How will this shape what we write, how we write, etc.? Which conversations "belong" in these spaces? Which conversations might not? (And why are these difficult questions to pose in a learning environment?)
Along these lines, remember that the blogs we are creating could theoretically be accessed by anyone so I suggest that you do not include any personal information on your blog that you don't want "out there". (For example, when I post my electronic resume on my professional web page, I don't include my phone number or address or personal photos, etc.) If anyone would like to publish their blog with their first name, but not their last, I'm fine with that as well.
