Thing #4

The genre of blog writing is witty, informative, opinionated, and informal. It seems to be whatever you want it to be. I like to read while relaxing in the tub. Though it's not entirely impossible, I seem to be having some trouble reading blogs in this situation. When I write a blogs, you never quite sure who your audience my be. I sometimes feel if I am writing to myself and I already know my point a view. I struggle with people hearing my voice. Why would they? Not that I don't have a lot to say. I'm very talkative. Also, I noticed that blog writing has its own unique symbols. My daughter does them sometimes. The emoticons. I haven't quite to take the mastered what these mean. ;> I definitely noticed a difference between adult and student blogging. I was so impressed with the "Scribe Post" and how the students were so creative and encouraging with their posts and comments. I want to try and incorporate this in to my own classroom.
