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 […]

KCF and I had a very productive (and fun) day together discussing our dialogue/diablog project. We also enjoyed tea (and laughing at the elaborate descriptions of the coffee)at Angry Catfish and lunch at Bill’s Garden Chinese Gourmet. Remarkably, we also managed to find the time to create a rough sketch of our article, complete with […]

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 […]

In KCF’s recent comment, she raised some great questions about how blog writing may or may not contribute to your tenure file. Here’s a great place to start. It’s a youtube video that I first posted on my blogging and teaching workshop. The 9+ minute video includes discussions about public/private and blogging and tenure: Here’s […]

So here’s what I have for my first two paragraphs. It was tough–so many ideas swimming around in my head. Does it lack personality (or a person)? I also wonder if it seems a little too vague. What do you think, KCF? Last summer I fell in love with blogging. Sure I had been using […]

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 […]

Hey SLP – While I was reading my twitter feed I saw someone had posted this article speaking to this idea of social media taking over our lives. I thought you might be interested in it because I think there are some interesting connections between what the author’s writing about here and what we have […]

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 […]

Here are three examples of how I used the blog successfully for writing and teaching. Example one: This is a feminist issue because… (Here’s what I said about this category on an earlier blog entry): I developed a category on my feminist debates course blog titled, “This is a feminist issue because…”. Students were required to […]

InsideHighered.com seems to be a great place to go for information on teaching with technology. I just found this article about teaching with blogs this morning. Check out what the author writes about how he handles privacy and FERPA issues in the classroom: Yet there remains one troubling element: student privacy. Is open blogging this […]

Hey KCF! Since we are interested in linking feminist blogging with feminist consciousness-raising, I thought that I better review Tracy L.M. Kennedy’s article on blogging and virtual consciousness-raising (which you link to in your post) before our meeting on Friday. I like this passage: There are several specific ways in which blogging as a virtual […]
