What Makes Blogging Interesting?

 Making a blog post interesting is hard enough, but when discussing technology it can be difficult. After reading over some blogs this week, it seems like the blogs that caught my interest more had or provided the following:

  • They used words that caught my attention in the heading. Words like "master", "surprising", and "ultimate." When using words that lead a reader to feel a sense of urgency or cause them to be curious, they will likely continue reading.
  • Having a clear topic and content within the blog helps keep the reader interested. When blogs began discussing more than one topic within the content, it can get confusing and may lose interest quickly.
  • Having an organized flow may help with keeping the reader interested as well. Providing bullet points, and or numbered lists also helps keep them on track while reading, providing structure.
  • Providing images or videos can also be helpful, however, too many images may make the blog less interesting or even confusing!
  • Finally, I think that bringing some humor into the blog is helpful (if this is possible.)

How in the world is this possible?? I come from an era that thrived on school field trips!!  Is it possible to provide the same experience virtually? I guess it depends on how you look at it. I think the whole idea of a field trip is to get away, to share an experience with your class...

Brain Breaks-Dancing Stress Away!

  Brain Breaks Dancing the stress away...Does it really work? Taking a brain break and dancing to an upbeat song can be a rejuvenating experience, offering a regrshing break from your daily demands. Picture yourself in the midst of a hectic workday, feeling the weight of deadlines and responsibilities. With an overwhelming sense of the need to recharge, you decide to take a quick break. You put on your favorite upbeat song, the rythm pulsating through your body as you let go of tension and stress. With each beat, you feel your energy levels rise, and soon you find yourself moving to the music, letting the cares of the day slip away. I tried taking a brain break last week, in the middle of the day when I found the tension rising into my shoulders and neck. I knew I needed a break, and lucky for me I have my own office! So I scrolled through my music and found an oldie, but a goodie, hit start and let the music take over. It didn't take but a couple of seconds for the surge of endorp...
