Hopefully you have all received your invitations to participate as an author on this blog. Once you accept, you will be able to post on the blog any time you like about anything and everything that you would like to share with the group.
Blogger is a cool medium. Its interface makes it easy to include links, images, and videos within a post, and there are lots of ways to customize the site. Although it may seem a little intimidating at first, once you start interacting with it, it quickly becomes a great way to communicate with the group. Maybe we will have some time tomorrow in class for a brief tutorial for those of you who are new to the whole process.
What we essentially have in front of us is a blank page, and we can make it anything we want it to be. Whether you have stumbled across an article that you think the class would be interested in, have a reaction to something we have read, or simply have something to say, this is the place to do it. Post as often as you like or as little as you like - this is a space for us to grow and expand together.
To get things rolling, I would like to make a proposition. How about we all (if we have time, of course) write a quick entry introducing ourselves to the group? It would be nice to get a sense of who everyone is as we start this journey together.
Here's to an excellent semester together.
It feels like the beginning of something worthy doing, something that will surprise us all, something to use as a basis for other good things for a long time
