(so far) Now that we’re not necessarily working on an article for publication here on Diablogical! I thought it might be interesting to do a quick reflection on how course blogging has been going so far in the semester. I’m officially (at MSUM) in the sixth week of classes and have fallen into the easy […]

Oftentimes blogging (despite acknowledging that we are writing for in/visible audiences) can be a very isolating experience. While the format allows for some connections with communities and instant access to one’s own thoughts, ideas and writing, before this collaborative blog project, I did not feel the same sense of accountability to what I wrote and […]

Training Being confident and excited about experimenting on blogs Sometimes students can express some trepidation with having to blog even though we often think of students who are entering college as being very familiar with the tools of “the digital age.” However, if you spend time training students on the basics of how to use […]

Here is my post (albeit a bit late) on my thoughts on how I use blogs as tools of engagement. I’m going to blame finishing my diss. and starting a new teaching job as the reason for this, I know you (SLP) know the crazy summer I’ve had. So, no more complaining, just doing! Our […]

After some pretty stressful weeks of dissertation revisions I have finally caught my breath enough to revise our section on accessibility. From what I remember of our discussion we wanted to switch the Brian Solis quote/data to a footnote and cite some specific feminist work there instead. Let me know if you think that works. […]

I see what you mean about having ultimate power! Muah ha ha! I don’t think we decided on a word count for our busting binaries or our accessibility sections that I am in charge of writing! **Imagine me sitting at my desk strumming fingers together diablogically…** I will try to keep this somewhere between over […]

So, thanks for your generous offer of your extra 11 words but I’m glad I pushed myself to revise my intro. The first one had some weird syntax things going on and so I’ve just cleaned it up a bit here. Cleaning it up also meant that I made it within our word limit (yay!) […]

So, I was listening to the radio today and there was this commercial that was like “your all access pass to…” and I thought about how we haven’t addressed access in this way either. Well, maybe we have a little bit in the sense that we’ve thought about how in expanding the idea of access […]

So, not quite there on the word limit, I’m wondering if I’m trying to fit too much in here. I could maybe cut some of the second paragraph if in our “about us” section of the intro addresses some of the points I bring up here. I basically narrowed down and braided together the three […]

We had an amazing meeting on Friday, so amazing that we had so many notes to write up which is why I wasn’t able to post until now! These notes might also be a little disjointed as SLP and I both mentioned that we were super tired from a long week of work and were […]

So, we had an incredibly busy and productive session last week, I am still trying to get through all of our amazing notes! In the meantime SLP asked for me to post our next assignments that are due tomorrow! What I wrote down that we are supposed to be doing for tomorrow is actually pulling […]

So, I know this is a part of our “official” plans for what we were supposed to do this week but I think it connects because I was reviewing some resources I had put aside as I was preparing for our discussion on “Creating Community” and I think that we’ve mentioned that a further way […]
