The Jotter of Rotter

Here is to a new beginning in blogging. After a number of years behind Blackboard and Canvas walls, my university’s Domain of One’s Own project triggers me to write down my thoughts on the process of getting my own web domain (www.marcelrotter.net) in a more public way.
The first challenge – choosing a domain name. What would be appropriate for a site that will eventually reflect my professional activities: full name?, nome de guerre? descriptive name? .com?.org? .net? I settled on my full name and the .net suffix as I hope to make this site part of my professional NETwork.
It speaks to the solidity of the project that we work in cohort of 5-6 and approach the creation of the domain with its different sites from a goal-oriented standpoint rooted in reading and group discussion.

The first reading is Martin Weller’s The Digital Scholar.
