It is that time of year to relax and also start contemplating what to do in the fall or new year. Will the routine be the same? Rehearsals- some work hopefully and tennis and other exercise and the list goes and if you have read some of my other blog entries you are aware of the range of activities that I enjoy. A continuing education course catalogue arrived from the university this week. I always look through these catalogues looking for courses that will keep me thinking and maybe give me some interesting ideas. One course that caught my attention is "the Art and Business of Blogging" "This course explores the blogsphere with a dual focus on the technical aspects of blogging the rigour of creating compelling content on a daily basis. Along with helping students find an appropriate online voice, style and tone. This course debates the ethics and responsibilities of citizen journalism." I assume that this course is trying to ensure that blogs receive greater respect.
Blogs have flourished for sometime; and I guess the fact that a post secondary institution has decided that they are worthy of at 10 hours of class time means that they have achieved a certain amount of credibility. I am not sure that spending 10 hours in class is going to help me create compelling content- reading widely, viewing news shows and listening to others should help me find inspiration and then I am on my own trying to be compelling.
