Third or First Person

As I sat reflecting on the writing that my students turned in a few weeks ago, I found myself wondering if I should blog in first or third person.  It may sound like a trivial decision, but I must admit after reading my students' writings, I felt as though I was reading totally different classes assignments.  Okay, you are probably thinking at this point that I'm just that good of a writing instructor, when in reality I know that third person musings actually sound more factually based than the opinion pieces you and I are use to reading.  So from now on, you may see only second and third person pronouns used in my casting of educational topics (unless I have something way to interesting to strain my brain trying to convert to the latter point of views).
