Adult Learning and Discourse

Yikes. I’ve dropped the ball big time. Now I am looking at the blog as a guilty trespasser rather than an engaged learner. Can l slip under the wire?  Will anyone even notice that I’ve been a slacker? When I go to review the student posts will they have crucified me in ether-space? Will they have done a Carl Rove/Lee Atwater on me?  Or worse, will they have followed suit and not posted anything of their own? I can just see their faces, smugly judging me in class on Thursday: hypocrite! idler! ne’er-do-well! skiver! layabout!

OK, got that out of my system. Now on to other worries: wonder how the gang did with finding searchable terms and finding potential citations for project three…The process is always a bit 

wobbly.  Will they tolerate the ambiguities and false starts in the spirit of an Allen Tough “learning project” (entry is foggy, move from global →specific, careful use of “planners,” learner as “system integrator”…). In the true spirit of stumbling-toward-the-light?
