The infamous lost post
Last night as I was diligently typing using the hotel’s wireless connection, I somehow lost all that I had written but recreating that last night was simply not going to happen, so here is my rewrite, same ideas, just different words.
OVer the last few weeks a reoccurring comment seems to be omnipresent. Yesterday as I flew to Pittsburgh it came back again. I was reading an article by Stephen Downes entitiled “How To Be Heard” and I came across the comment that “…the point here isn’t to create something great every day – the point is to create every day, and through that very process, in time, something great will emerge.” Now this is not a new comment or technique for an English teacher, I often try to impart the same knowledge to my students on a regular basis. However, I had not used this advice in my everyday life when it comes to this blog. I know that I won’t be able to write a post everyday between my family and my classes, but I can at least make the attempt. Over the next few days I will probably be posting often reflecting on the ideas that I find and the conversations I have.
Well, I’m off to the conference. What will you create today?
