Fresh Start
A funny thing happens when you start a new blog. You have a lot to say. You have a lot of resources to share. You have learned so much that now you want to pass along a few of those treasures. You choose the platform, decide on the appearance, find your favorite features, and click on the ‘new post’ button.
And there it is.
Blank.
The first post should set the tone for the author and the audience. It answers the questions, “Why would someone want to come here, what can I share that will be of value, how can I pass along my passion for learning, and what will this blog be about?”
I imagine a few give up at this point. Not being one to quit, I will publish this first post, even though all of the answers aren’t there yet. I encourage my students to take that first step, and want to do the same. I’m using wordle, one of my favorite tools, to express a few of the topics I hope to blog about in the coming months. Please feel free to leave a comment or send me a message. If you have a blog, send me a link. I’d love to learn from you too.
