Blogging

A friend of mine who teaches reading told me a couple years ago that students don't read anymore. However, Penrod, in her book Using Blogs to Enhance Literacy, points to blogs as something that is motivating young people to read and write more. That's good news.

A few years ago, an SCSU professor had a blog where he expressed his political views. I read it a couple times out of curiosity, but didn't find it very interesting, not because of the content, but because I didn't particularly like reading a computer screen.

I found out last year that a family member of mine has a blog. It's very interesting writing and it's enjoyable to get to know her better through that medium. Still, I haven't visited it much.

Now, here I am with my own blog. In much the same way I have trouble reading other people's blogs, I'm having trouble motivating myself to write mine.
