Here are my comments on visibility. I decided to focus on exposure instead of visibility. I can’t remember if I actually wrote about exposure on any posts, but I do remember bringing it up a few times. While it isn’t the only way I want to think about visibility, it seems to fit well with […]

Well, here it is. All 439 words. Central to our arguments about accessibility and the transformative and transgressive potential of blogging and feminist pedagogy is this belief: blogging while teaching and teaching with blogs in the feminist classroom allows us to engage in feminist consciousness-raising practices in online, offline and online/offline spaces. Borrowing from Tracy […]

As I was scrolling through a folder on my laptop, I unearthed this “ancient” (as in 2004!) essay from the NYTimes: My So-Called Blog. I haven’t read it too closely yet, but I was struck by a big quote that I found as I quickly skimmed the essay: Here’s the passage that the above image […]

If I have read my notes correctly (which, due to my incredibly messy handwriting, might be a miracle), our section on the project should include the following: a cleaned-up version of the abstract some ideas about collaboration through dialogues/diablogs brief mention of how we are practicing what we preach–that is, because we advocate for the […]

So I came across this article the other day from ReadWriteWeb about going beyond the social to an era of the internet of things. In this new era, the internet is not valuable because it is a great space to share information/ideas/stories and connect with others; it is valuable because it provides us with opportunities […]

While I don’t have much commentary to offer about this issue right now, I thought I would just post these two items that speak to the power of women in social networking and blogging. First, this article: The gender divide of influence on Twitter. Second, this tweet (which doesn’t have a link to an article): […]

Hey KCF, feel free to take my 11 leftover words (ha ha). But seriously, here’s the revised version of my intro. Here’s what I changed: made how I use blogs about my students, and not just me + added in a few sentences at the end. I will bold what I changed/added: Last summer I […]

KCF and I had a very productive (and fun) day together discussing our dialogue/diablog project. We also enjoyed tea (and laughing at the elaborate descriptions of the coffee)at Angry Catfish and lunch at Bill’s Garden Chinese Gourmet. Remarkably, we also managed to find the time to create a rough sketch of our article, complete with […]

In KCF’s recent comment, she raised some great questions about how blog writing may or may not contribute to your tenure file. Here’s a great place to start. It’s a youtube video that I first posted on my blogging and teaching workshop. The 9+ minute video includes discussions about public/private and blogging and tenure: Here’s […]

So here’s what I have for my first two paragraphs. It was tough–so many ideas swimming around in my head. Does it lack personality (or a person)? I also wonder if it seems a little too vague. What do you think, KCF? Last summer I fell in love with blogging. Sure I had been using […]

Here are three examples of how I used the blog successfully for writing and teaching. Example one: This is a feminist issue because… (Here’s what I said about this category on an earlier blog entry): I developed a category on my feminist debates course blog titled, “This is a feminist issue because…”. Students were required to […]

InsideHighered.com seems to be a great place to go for information on teaching with technology. I just found this article about teaching with blogs this morning. Check out what the author writes about how he handles privacy and FERPA issues in the classroom: Yet there remains one troubling element: student privacy. Is open blogging this […]
