My best first blog post

I’m prompted to start a blog, again, again. I’ve joined the current offering of Open Networked Learning, which requires a web log. Luckily, I can put aside the last few blogs, tuck away the past me, and start fresh. Of course the current me and the past me have a few things in common, including a propensity to agonize over names for a full two hours (which doesn’t include the 3 days of ‘sleeping on it’).

Q: How does anyone (me) ever start anything (a blog)?

    It is a bit of a mystery. It has a solution (the actual blog) but no real explanation to why, and perhaps it is not needed. Sometimes “is there” is good enough open a new window for reflections. I look very much forward to follow your blog.

    A great start to your ONL blog! One advantage of online learning and discussions is that you can take some time to ‘sleep on it’. Sometimes the best ideas and learning are like good coffee – they need time to percolate! Good luck with your ONL journey. I look forward to keeping up with your blogs.

    Once the agonzing stops; the reflections may begin. Blogging may take the form of a personal reflection on an experience or something more analogous to a an academic paper with references and links to literature to allow the reader the opportunity to study what inspired or directed your thoughts. If you check my ONL blog, https://onl192journey.wordpress.com/, you will see that my first post is a very personal refelction whilst the later posts maight be described as more traditionally academic. I am curious as to the path your posts wil lfollow,
