This is my first attempt at blogging. In cyberspace I am an immigrant not a native. The Internet for my students is home ground. They have come of age in a period where it is central to their lives both socially and professionally. Sad to say I still speak the language of cyberspace with a heavy accent and questionable syntax. I have yet to text, do not own a blackberry and do not feel unable to function without an ipod. No doubt these things would enhance my life, but there would be a cost. Blogging will be my attempt to enter this new world. There was a time when television was not universal and my coming of age dovetailed with its cementing its position as a stable of American life, for better or for worse. The Internet has surpassed it as a venue of news, entertainment and commerce and one must move on.
Tomorrow I will attempt to set up the site.
