Journals [and Blogging]

Most of what is being said regarding blogs in composition has been said before. Looking at the ?Guidelines for Using Journals in School Settings? approved by the NCTE on Commission on Composition on November 28, 1986 drafted by [Toby] Fulwiler, it seems that the basic assumptions of learning through blogging have been stamped as legitimate. Jeff Ward —Journals [and Blogging] (This Public Address)

Jeff’s bulleted list is a great reminder that few things are really brand new. Of course, traditional journaling in academia doesn’t introduce the student-author to the benefit of links, searchable archives, near-instant feedback from readers, etc. So there’s still plenty of room for new research into blogs.

    Unmarked assignments. Major drafts came in over the weekend so I lost some ground but I know what I need to do for the next few days.

    Making sidewalks to go with the buildings. Tedious but will save time later. #blender3d #medievalyork #mysteryplay

    I love a little courtyard. I think I’ve made enough #blender3d buildings for now. On to the next phase of my simulation. #medievalyork #mysteryplay

    I’m thinking this is a still from the cringey Season 1 episode of TNG where the natives build a religion around a bag of Starburst candy that falls out of Wesley’s pocket. #design #aesthetics #startrek #tng

    Each building in my #medievalyork simulation has four levels of detail (so that distant objects render faster). #blender3d #mysteryplay #design #cgi
