Before reading ‘2010 in review’, I need to share a little about myself as a writer. My lack of editing is evident, and my writing style needs work. I’ll be spending time reading and making corrections, but this will take time. Improving my writing style is one personal goal for 2011.
When I started this blog in 2009, my goal was to write about the ‘work I do’ and ‘get it down’. Writing in such an open forum is about taking risks, and that’s what I needed to do first. It was all about ‘having a go’, and that’s exactly what I expect my students to do. This blog is a record of my practice. Doing the ‘work I do better’ is my goal, and I’m hoping that this is reflected in Nina’s Arena.
The stats helper monkeys at WordPress.com mulled over how this blog did in 2010, and here’s a high level summary of its overall blog health:
