First blog

This is my first blog. The first decision I had to make is what to name this blog. I thought of my connection to the ocean. The ocean has always been a big part of my life. I want to use it throughout my blogs in different ways. I am new to this and will be learning as I go.I wanted to come up with a  name that spoke to my idea that learning (and teaching) are always in motion, changing, dynamic, round, meeting in the vortex of the known and unknown.  Ocean motion.

Now, I have to decide what to write that others may find interesting. This is a trial. Will publish now and see what happens

  1. I found this first entry interesting. I thin it's nice to hear where a blog's name comes from, and your connections around motion are thought-provoking.

  2. Ah, another lover of the ocean. The sounds, the smells, the motion that is so relaxing and mesmerizing. This is the first summer that I have not made even one trip to some place on the coast. I am so disappointed. Now that school has started it doesn't look like I will be going anywhere. Wouldn't it be nice if we could take our kids to the ocean several times a year to see and hear what nature has provided without the distractions and demands of life. I am a dreamer.

  3. I love the ocean as well. I am lucky in that my daughter has moved to a spot near Bar Harbor where the ocean is just down the road. We love to go to visit her and spend the day walking, exploring, and dining on the ocean. Water is so calming and serene...
