Remediation, Genre' and motivation

I don't know what to say about this writing. I appreciate the fact that the teachers are inquiring weblogs and trying to see where students are at and, we can see that many students are more motivated when it cames to free writing. I, personally have been more motivated to blog since I have been given a blogging partner. I feel I have a bigger responsibility to get it done.
Not much to note on this, I'm curious to hear what everyone else has to say. Which reminds me, I do enjoy reading my classmates blogs and I find that when I do I get a wider understanding of the reading.

April 4th

I found the reading "Monitoring Order" interesting in that I can see how changing the arrangement of the writing makes it more interesting. Also how making decisions about when to move to the left or the center can spark interest in the reading or seem to make a part of the reading more important. I feel that when the arrangement is made in these ways, it's kind of like watching someone's body language.
What did the author mean by "eye of the mind"?
I found it fun to move from one page to the next by clicking the boxes. It gave me the feeling that I was a part of the reading getting me involved. Good Idea!
