Reflections from the Blogosphere

January 8, 2007

A Change of Heart

Filed under: General — coffeetalk @ 11:13 am and

I hope my last reflection didn’t offend anyone out there in the Blogosphere.  Beth commented on my last post about “Too Much Information”  and offered some very helpful advice as well as a different perspective on this topic.  I guess that as any new skill we learn, it takes practice to figure out the best way to utilize it.  Please look at her comments.  They are worthwhile to read.

Being a speech-language pathologist and communication specialist, I truly must apologize to those who find the blogosphere an exciting place to share information with others.  I really do celebrate all forms of communication that foster better interpersonal connections.  I use technology all the time with my students and if it wasn’t for augmentative and alternative methods of communication, many of them would be isolated and unable to lead happy, meaningful lives.   I guess that “blogging” is just another alternative means to communicate.  Perhaps I was feeling especially frustrated the day I wrote my last post.  I have to remember my yogic breathing when I feel overhwhelmed!!! I am sure that the blogosphere has opened up a whole new avenue of communication for so many in the global community especially those who who love to write & share their ideas,  have expertise in areas in life that would benefit the universe as a whole, communicate more effectively using technology for whatever reason, etc…While I personally haven’t been bitten by the blogging bug, I celebrate all those who find that it is helping them in their pursuit of happiness, knowledge and betterment of the global community!!!  Namaste

  1. You have an expertise to share and others can benefit from your experience and skill. You are very good at what you do. If you have done a search for speech and language type blogs, they are not so easy to come by. I hope you stick around for a while, I learn something from you all the time. Maybe you could share about the augmentative and alternative communication methods you mentioned.

  2. You may be interested to view this school-based therapist blog which is used as a way to share “tips” with parents.
    http://hosmerot.blogspot.com/ (They’ve been quiet of late but I love to show this to other school based therapists as another tool.)
    Maybe this is another way to view blogging.
