The journey to co-journaling has been an adventure in trial and error. While the Independent Daily Journals and Letter to Self were worthwhile endeavors in the approach to inspiring personal writing growth, they were not meeting the desired goals for the students or the instructor. Co-journaling has provided a more robust occasion for students to practice true written communication with the goal of sharing ideas in a professional capacity as well as ultimately allowing the instructor to gather information about students in an extraordinary way.
