First Post - what's a BLOG for???
Hi, This is a test posting.
My first BLOG. Should be fun. I wonder if I'll get addicted to this?
I'm still getting used to this whole thing, so if you're reading this, do bear with the gaps for now. I'll fill those in when I'm able to.
Perhaps a little intro, and a words on why I started this weblog.
It started with one of my students in my Design Thinking Class giving me his blog URL -- since I'd assigned them to make their personal journal entries for class. After reading his BLOG, I got to thinking about what the BLOG was. It was a journal, not private, but public. How did this differ from private journals? So I thought why not start one.
Okay, that's half the story. I admit that I still haven't fully embraced Internet Technologies, even though I surf the net, and do the nominal email stuff -- and buy plenty of books from Amazon.com. The other thing that prompted me to start this BLOG was the very fact that it could help me with the class itself. As a communications device, as a way for the students to better understand my thinking, and what I was trying to do in class. I do have to walk my talk after all. Otherwise how to connect with them??

Hi Tequila Pop,
I had a hard time trying to decide if I should reply on my site or on your site, but decided to do it here!
Thankx for your post. I'm sorry if somehow I might have made you uncomfortable with the journal summary worksheet. I think the plan was that by summarising it, rather than writing the incidents in detail, it would help defuse the issues. Do let me know how I could tune it so that the worksheets are more useful, and that it still remains a venue that you guys are comfortable to share your thoughts. Did I read out your piece? Can't remember if I did so. Sorry if that was uncalled for!
THanks again!

Hi. I understand. Thanks for telling me. I'll reserve the reading to my private space next time. Appreciate you telling me this. Mistake learnt. Hope this doesn't dampen your expressiveness for the next summary!
Thanks again.
