Blogging is somewhat of a mystery to me. Kerawalla, Minocha, Kirup, & Conole (2008) describe various behaviors exhibited by students blogging in an online course. "Anxious, self-conscious blogging just to complete the suggested course activities" (Kerwalla et. al. 2008, p. 30) describes my feeble attempts at blogging. Online communication and social networking offer educators a medium to continue learning outside of the classroom. Blogging activities offer students a chance to evaluate, analyze, and apply learned content in a meaninful manner. It is my hope to learn more about blogging, over come self-conscious anxiety, and effectively use it as a continued learning exercise.
