Why the Blog?

A long time ago I started this blog but found that a website better filled my needs at that time.  Today, Raven said that we need to do something about the blog; either use it or delete it.  She suggested that a blog could be a great place for my students to have further discussion outside of the classroom.  I agreed.

But I told her that I wanted to include my former students and friends.  And I did not want discussion to be limited only to what we talked about during class.  What I have in mind is for us to post a weekly question or idea for consideration that would invite open discussion.  Responses might include: unfinished class business, practical application, ideas about how we use these ideas and any questions or comments we want to share.
