Too many blogs, yes. It could be the sixth or the seventh, who knows. I´ve had my WordPress blog up and running for some time now, but it feels too personal to be public, on the one hand. On the other, the experiences people are likely to be interested in have to do with my professional findings, and in this respect I can offer several others, hosted in many other corners, which I have already shared with different groups of students and colleagues, all focusing on a diverse range of topics, from classblogs to group blogs.
This multiplication or division into selves has proved positive at times, since I can feel absolutely free to express personal feelings somewhere…, while at other times it all becomes a strange sensation of fragmentation into pieces… Where am I? Just in disconnected pieces pending here and there…
This one will reflect my experience while at the SMIELT EVO session 08.

Rita, I know the feeling about having so many blogs! I decided to stick to this one (same as from last EVO) for that very reason. But I do feel that each of my blogs serves a specific purpose, which I too would not like to mix.

Nicely put! “This multiplication or division into selves has proved positive at times, since I can feel absolutely free to express personal feelings somewhere…, while at other times it all becomes a strange sensation of fragmentation into pieces…”
I always look forward to reading your thoughts or listening to your powerful voice
online. I want to know more about this reflection though.
What is it about blogging that make you absolutely free to express your feelings?
I find that I feel the opposite sometimes; blogging tends to constrain my freedom of expression because knowing that there are multitude of powerful voices out there, my voice is so insignificant. Also, as a perfectionist I tend to think and re-think about what I want to write to the point that eventually I do not write at all. Blogging has brought a feeling of conflict to my sense of self-expression, I think.
