Blogging Fatigue

I think I am suffering from blogging fatigue. I have this class blog to maintain. I am blogging with my 191 students once a week. I blog with three small groups of supplemental 191 students. I read and comment on one of my children's friend's blog; she is spending a year in South Africa doing missionary work. I search for interesting blogs to study. Blog, blog, blog...

Sometimes I think we can overuse a technology. My high school students became so used to PowerPoints that they tuned me out when I presented one to them. I had to create fill-in-the-blank worksheets so they would write something down and not fall asleep in the dark. When my children were in junior and high school, instant messaging was the rage. Now it appears people have switched over to Facebook.

Instructors are incorporating YouTube videos into their content. It's the hip, cool thing now. I am wondering how long it will take before these mini videos will become dull. Of course, some new technology will come along, and students will flock to try it out. Will it be virtual reality? Or maybe brain implants just feeding the knowledge in without having to read it?
