Still having trouble

I find myself thinking about this whole "Blogging" thing constantly. I am NOT a fan of things like Twitter, or Blogs, yet I find myself having to do them in order to receive credit in this class. I am not dismissing the fact that they are useful. I guess I am just finding it hard to get motivated about logging on a seeing what everyone is discussing and talking about. When it comes to Facebook I am more content doing that because you only post things when you want to, and a lot of times you really are only responding to things others say to you. I will say that i find it very beneficial at times. You can relate to others' blogs and generate ideas for the classroom, papers, discussions or projects. If anyone can give me some pointers on getting more excited about this part of our class I would LOVE IT!!!

As for things that are happening right now with the Multigenre assignment I am loving this project. It's really based on whether or not you have the ability to be creative or not. I mean, yes, there are areas where you must follow the grading rubric and actually present a significant amount of slides. However, really I think Dr. Kist is looking for us to be creative and artisitc and enthusiastic about this presentation. Activities like this will allow students to show off their skills and love for something that has touched their lives. Not having to do any writing will encourage children to dif deep into the material and actually spend time on it. As for me, I feel like this whole project is going to bring up what a loser I was when I was a child, and actually still am today.
