Why blog? Who blogs?
As a" younger" teacher
when I plan my lessons I hardly ever go to a filing cabinet and pull something
out. In fact that is the last place I look. When I want to find a lesson I go
online. I view pintrest, blogs, free lesson plans, online curriculum but mostly
blogs. While searching the works of others I have often wondered why blog? I AM
SO GLAD "THEY DO", BUT WHY? Through this research class I am finding
out the why. One its fun!! Two its easy! Three I feel like I could be giving
something back to the world of education. Four it is a great way to organize
your thoughts, plans and goals.
As future admin. I see myself doing the same thing when it
comes to leading my school. I will look to other leaders and what they have
blogged about. In the Dana text she writes about Weblogs and taking time to reflect
through informal writing. Just journaling your thoughts. The older I get the
less I can remember. My arrogance in the past, was like , why write that little
piece of information down about that students. I can remember that! HA!HA! not
so. I can't hardly remember what I ate for dinner yesterday, much less what new
knowledge this student has obtained due to my hard work as a teacher. Also,
when you blog your frustration and then you sit back down with another frustration
,you read your past frustration and will be able to reflect on how that turned
out. I feel that blogging could help you to stay grounded and see that though
our progress is slow we are progressing.
