When it comes to writing, I enjoy creating my own stories or discussing personal experiences. I have also enjoyed writing poems in the past as well that deal with once again tales of my life and other characters I created. Freedom to say what I want and the ability to move in the direction I want to go is what best suits me. For instance, I despise writing research papers! Having to obey all the rules of citation and making sense out of others research bores me to death. I would prefer giving my own spin on what happened and then explain how I make sense of it all! I was excited to hear that we could do our own research for once, rather than reading others work and finding creative ways of putting their words in my mouth.
Who or what do I want to research? Not really sure yet, but I’m always interested in talking to teachers and school administrators since I’m going to be a teacher on day. Ideally, I would love to interview a teacher new to the profession to see how he or she is dealing with the stress of the first school year, but I don’t know if I will be able to swing that.
In regards to technology, I usually just type papers up in Word. I have used Twitter, created a blog, wrote a collaborative White Paper on Good Docs, and I believe we used a wiki one time in my Writing with Style class, but I wouldn’t consider any of these technologies a regular for me. I will say in regards to group projects, Google Docs comes in handy since everyone in the group will have access to the main document. Blogs are a different way to deliver information, because it’s a more creative way to tell a story. I mean, if you going to design your own blog page, you may as well make it pretty crafty looking.
