metablognition

I’ve been slacking blogwise, but only because I have been busy in the world of the real: the surprise demolition of the little utility hovel on the back of my house, the baby bird I accidentally killed, planning and preparing for workshops I am presenting, a trip to Tallahassee to visit dear friends. So, I thought I could sneak by with just posting some comments on some friends’ blogs. Then I posted a comment on my blog. That was when I invented my new word: metablognition. Metacognition is when you think about thinking; in education lingo, it means you are showing the kids what your thought process is as you read, solve problems, whatever. My word is rooted in that, but it is blogging about your blog, or something to that effect. No? Okay, fine. I have another new word: thoughtulence. It means the same thing as a brain fart, but sounds nicer. More details on my wacky adventures soon. Kisses!
