Blogging (News and Tips)
The Basics of Blogging and Online Publishing
Blogging is such a weird word. We never used it until people started keeping “logs” on the “web” of their life called “weblog” and for some reason, we dropped the “we” and were left with the art of blogging . And in a sense, it has changed everything. How? Because now, everyone is a publisher . Every business, every church, and every institution is now a publisher, and those who publish with the most gusto win.Is Writing About Books Bad for Reading Books?
This blog is called "Technology and Learning" - but maybe the word "Books" should also appear in the title. I write about books because I live so much in my head, and the books that I read form the mental scaffolding of my life. Some people learn by doing, I learn by reading (and writing). And I want to hang out with other readers. I want to know what other people who live their lives at the intersection of education and technology are reading. I want to read the same books as you, and spend time talking about what we are reading together.

She is also a social media consultant and an adjunct for social media at Columbia Journalism School’s continuing education program.
