Purpose: The purpose of a post should be clear and easily understood. Along with a definite intent, my posts will have resolution. Resolution does not necessarily mean that every question will be answered, but it does mean that the reader will know when the post is coming to a close.
Pizazz: Catchy blogs include pictures, links, and videos. Although my entries may be long, they will be engaging, insightful, and (hopefully) not humdrum.
Public: The internet is a public space. As such, blogs should maintain confidentiality, exude professionalism, and adhere to correct spelling and (most) grammatical practices. Although a blog is personal, I will refrain from interjecting strong emotions and terribly biased views without providing supporting evidence. Facts will be backed up by credible, reliable sources.
Prompting: Because blogs are public, I encourage and expect others' feedback. I also hope that my blog prompts readers to ask questions and challenge each other.
This Pedagogy Place strives to be an effective blog, which exists in a public space, prompts readers to reply, and carries out a clearly defined purpose with pizazz and professionalism.
