1. I'd like to think this blog would be carried on by people taking ENGL 1101 Foodies in the coming semester and years (assuming there is still a Foodies course at GT then). We could have new people joining this blog who would continue to post their journey through this course, like we did. We would occasionally check the blog for new posts, but obviously we wouldn't post much (because we would be busy with other classes)... sort of occasional advice to students taking the course at that time. If we're the first to do this, we'd be like pioneers of the Foodie blogs at GT. Even if the section designations are different (other than P4, G5, E3), the URL could be modified on the Blogger server and all the followers would be informed.
2. Take the blog off the net after the semester ends. Yes, heart-wrenching as that sounds (and is), this was strictly a course-based activity, and after the course has ended... we should have nothing to do with it. I know we've put our hearts and minds and our lives into this, but let's not make this bigger than it actually is.
These are my preferred outcomes. What I would not like to see... is a status quo - i.e. leave the blog as it is. What am I expected to do then? Continue posting when I'm too busy to do so? Put it in my past, which I know will be hard to do, especially if some of us continue to post? And feel guilty about not posting, thereby ensuring that everybody thinks you just posted for the grade? I can probably live with it, though.
Feel free to disagree.
