This is my action plan. You are looking at it. In a globalizing world blogs are a good format in which to write thoughts and receive feedback in the form of comments at the bottom of each post. This blog is were journalling and writing meets technology. Trust me my penmanship is hard to read, and a blog allows for a nice aesthetic for the Core project. The posts are dated and sorted sequentially, with the newest post at the top of the page. It also allows words to be linked (words in silver within posts are links) to further resources and sites that may be helpful or contribute to the conversation. Since it is accessible through the Internet I am hoping that I can get feedback from the faculty of Core, my study group, my Core colleagues, as well as mentors and friends (Gideon Strauss, Keith Martel, Chris Klein, Jeff Schooley, Paul Petrovic, Jeff Bouman, etc.) that I think can contribute valuable comments for the deliberative process. This is not really an experiment since I have for the past two years been blogging about film, which has lead to both the reader's and the writer's views changing in the process of conversation. This blog is the form and tangible outworking of my learning through out this first year of the doctoral program.
On a technical note, comments are moderated through my email, so I can avoid getting spam comments. In order to comment, click on the word comment at the bottom of each post. At the maximum, it will take a day for your comment to appear on the site. I will try to post them as soon as I receive the email. Also, if you do not have a blogger user name and password you can still comment. If you would be kind enough to give your name at the bottom that would be appreciated.
