Well, the last classes for fall quarter ended Friday. I had an amazing quarter with my two classes -- great students. They were really game to try some new things, including blogs and wikis. They learned a good deal and I did as well.
Regarding my own blog site, I became a 'bad' blogger -- rarely posting. I made a rule for myself, that I wouldn't blog until my classes were all that I wanted them to be. Problem was, I was so ambitious about my classes (both being new) that I never came to the place where I was satisfied -- and thus never got to blogging. I need to rethink this rule because I think blogging is a thing I need to do to stay connected with the wider world...
I will have some time to rethink how to integrate blogging as I will not be teaching for another two months, not until I teach "Emerging Churches" with Eddie Gibbs as a two-week intensive Jan. 30-Feb.10...
I spent Friday catching up with many blogs so I look forward to entering the conversation again...

i think you should make blogging one of those deals that is part of getting the class the way you want it to be... incorportate blogging into class...
that way we can all stay connected to your students... sort of like a personal response system http://www.aas.duke.edu/classrooms/prs.html only you could use the blogsphere for feed back....
anyways, we all missed reading your blog and glad to have you back
