Note: most of my teaching materials will now be appearing in my spring course blog,
available here.
Not that it won't be the most popular post on the planet by tomorrow, but I just wanted to create a link to the "
Why I Hate Personal Weblogs" piece, and I still haven't gotten around to installing MT in my office.

RequestJust a quick note to say that I've been enjoying your portfolios. I'll likely write my own summary entry after the grading is completely done, but I do have a small request. I'd like to store some of your comments in my teaching portolio. I'll likely be contacting a few of you individually over the next few days to ask if I can use quotations from your portfolios.
I realize this is public material (after all it's on your blog), but it seems a little more conscientious to request your premission for this use of your writing (basically as a means of promoting my own profile as an academic). I've been pleased to see many of you comment on how blogging has helped your writing.
And once the grading process is done, you're certainly welcome to do whatever you wish with your blogs. After all, the work you've done in them belongs to you.
Wrap-UpJust a quick breakdown of requirements:
- Personal portfolio (900-1200) words, with links to at least four entries or texts that you have written this semester.
- Group blog (5 personal entries with wrap-up entry) plus a group conclusion
- Short summary of your group's process emailed to me charles[dot]tryon[at]lcc[dot]gatech[dot]edu
Also, don't forget that you can write a review of one of the presentations on your individual blog for extra credit.
Hope everyone has a good holiday season.
