Reflections on Blogging

I can see I have a few problems with doing the lesson and blogging about it.

1-It's hard for me to take notes while doing the lesson, particularly avoiding printing copious pages and/or scribbling notes that are hard to decipher later.

Also, despite what I think are sufficient notes, I hate not being able to remember the specific place in the online resource to which my notes pertain.

2-If I DO stay up late to blog right after completing the lesson, my brain is too fuzzy to blog as I'd like or intend.

3-With my schedule, it's not always possible to do the lesson and blog in one setting.

SO, I'm thinking I will try a new strategy: do both simultaneously by having one window open to the lesson and another window open for blogging about the current portion of the lesson.

Doing so may take more than one sitting at the computer to complete each lesson, but perhaps it will work more satisfactorily.

I think I will try it for Lesson 3.

I understand your dilemma! Another idea is for you to open Word or Notepad,the Challenge assignment and the online resource. Then make your notes in Word or Notepad as you go through the assignment. That way, you can save your notes, and then you can copy & paste your notes into your blog. (Notepad might work better for you because it eliminates formatting.) Hope this helps. We look forward to your posts!
