Making headway with BP

How many times you heard someone say, "I can get this paper done once I've written the first line" -- but it is always the first line that is hard to get done. Isn't this so true?

Getting started is always a struggle especially when something looks formidable and overwhelming. I'm guessing that many of my undergraduate students are having these feelings this past week about our Blog Project. But the cat is out of the bag -- our class is moving on and making headway because there's no turning back. We are going to experiment, take risk, and try to get out of our boxes and make a difference to our target audience.

Some of my students are already making great posts -- check Meredith McCorvey's post (November 7, 2005) about her experience and reflection on our first assignment in this course, the Technology Autobiography (TA) in the Wacky Worker's Workplace Blog.


Also, Amanda Bosland's layout of her left side bar to showcase her selected course projects is a good example of how to do it (November 7, 2005) -- check it out in the Kiddy Corral Blog.
