I love Zits, the comic strip about a trendy Net Gen teen struggling to make his Baby Boomer parents understand his life. The strip that came out a few days ago is about blogging, and I found it to be funny and oh-so-true:<\/p>\n

I think I sometimes worry too much that I don’t have any material that is “blog-ready” for public disclosure on my blog. So I end up not blogging very much. The truth is that I often have a lot of opinions about a lot of educational topics that I read\/write about all the time every day. So if I can chat about these things with my cubicle friends, what keeps me from blogging about it?<\/p>\n

To tie this into our BlogTracks presentation: I think a difficulty with this type of presentation format is that while it should be a more informal method for discussion, we still may be hampered by our academic habits and traditions for only sharing perfect, publishable work.<\/p>\n

Note to self:<\/strong> In this blog, try to talk more, not less, even if that means the ideas aren’t fully cooked yet. Hopefully through discussing ideas in this space I will be clearer about my ideas in the end, as well as hopefully having contributed something to the discussion myself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
