Professional Interests

Where are you involved professionally? For example, have you recently attended a workshop or presentation where the speaker said something that really caught your attention? What did he/she say (or what did you do or learn) that impacted your teaching, research, perspective, etc.? Have you discovered something new or interesting from your mentoring experiences? What conversations in your discipline are getting your attention?

Personal Quests (Just for fun!)

What kinds of interesting things have you learned in your coursework, through service experiences, in issues you follow, etc.? Writing about these interests demonstrates that you personally value the benefits of reflection on your own lifelong learning. Therefore, why limit your posts to professional and instructional topics? What additional interests do you have beyond your discipline? Where are you involved in the community? Where have you traveled and whom did you meet?

Now it's your turn. You can start blogging by adding a blog page to your ePortfolio. (Most websites have a blog page option or you can simply create a new page on your site and add sub pages as posts.)
