To Blog or Not to Blog?
Nov 6th, 2010 by Michele Brannon-Hamilton
Despite my good intentions, it’s been awhile since I posted a blog here. In ETEC 500 Research, I developed a research proposal investigating how blogs can be used to learn. Ironically, I discovered that most people eventually stop blogging. I wanted to be one of those people who continued but time constraints put blogging at the bottom of my priority list.
Now the list has gone bottoms up and blogging has become the priority! Why the change? In a word – ePortfolio! I’ve come to the end of my academic Master of Educational Technology (MET) journey and it’s time to reflect on what I’ve learned in the form of an ePortfolio. Besides creating an end product, the ePortfolio, I am learning that the process is just as important. In this case, process means reflection. Therefore, I’ve decided to use this blog to reflect on the development of my ePortfolio. In turn, I will link the blog and the ePortfolio together. Since one could not really exist without the other, this blog will be my primary artifact linking all that I have learned theoretically with all that I am now able to do practically.
I hope you will join me in the next chapter of my eStory, a book full of discovery, mystery and yes, even horror!
