Learning Curve
Posted by susankmiller on July 27, 2007
So…I’ve waited over a month to write another post to my blog. And there’s a reason. I’m frustrated with the technology, and I’m realizing how overwhelming it is to learn something new when you’re behind the curve. There are so many potential things I can do with my blog that my mind is spinning. I start looking at other blogs, widgets, and tools…and then I start thinking about the dozen things I need to do with my blog in order for it to even be functional…and then I give up and do something else.
Perhaps this is a good lesson for me as a teacher. Technology can be exciting and fun, but it can also be overwhelming. I know that in my head, but it’s good for me to be reminded by immersion.
So…if there’s anybody out there who actually read my first blog post (Shelley?), I’ll try to pick up the pace a bit. And I promise to work on cleaning up my sidebar.

It took me over a year to get into the swing of my blog. And I’m still struggling (and now I have to contribute to the CTL’s one as well).
I’m incapacitated by the same thoughts with my writing (esp., diss, but most of the other stuff as well). I think by doing these things it does “keep us humble” in a way that helps with our teaching.
Hang in there!
Miss having you local! I know, I need to call!

I did indeed read your blog post, and you are on my blogroll. So, take your time and get into the swing of things when you are ready. Your readers will wait!

p.s. I hope that all is well.
