Last semester when we kept a journal it was easy for me to write pages of material. It was unfiltered and I was writing for myself. As mentioned in the first reading “Blogs in Media Education: A Beginning.” by Adrian Miles, a blog needs more care put into it. It is opening us up to an ecology where we are connecting and interacting with different ideas and blogs. We become people who “participate” not just “consume”.

The one idea that I was unfamiliar with was the this term of seeding and in the content of the reading that our blog writing needed to be ‘seeded’ by a range of tasks. Adrian discusses in the reading this tipping point where our writing and blog “shifts from becoming assessable, teacher set activities to their own online writing spaces”.

At this stage it’s still the beginning.
