challenges to blogging

This is a challenging exercise for me as I rarely have kept journals and what is a blog if not an electronic journal (with no degree of privacy). I usually prefer to do my learning in an interaction with others, be they in person or through their written and spoken words. I find that it is during the interaction that the sparks of thinking flare into coherent ideas and begin to burn with a lasting flame of knowledge. A case in point - see how my solo reflections are more likely to wax into some kind of poetic eloquence which is too too much.

In any case, this is intended to be my reflections on emerging technologies for learning and at the moment I am struggling with what to put into my slideshare presentation. I feel I have tapped the hobby side of life enough with my various takes from my camping trip to Yellowstone so want to capture material more closely related to this course. I fear it will have more artificiality about it as I try to create extra slides to provide enough against which to sync the voice track. Oh well. The learning continues none the less.
