First impressions

Hi! This is my first blogpost ever. Hopefully, not the last. I look forward to presenting and exhanging concepts and ideas about learning and teaching here. My first impressions of creating a blog are caution and humble expectations. At this initial stage. I can see potential  affordances with using blogs for edcuational purposes. However, I am not quite sure what blogging for educational purposes entails. Hopefully, it is something to be discovered as part of the ONL181 community collaborative work in the weeks to follow!
