Blogging is taking your thoughts another step. As we learn, explore, and synthesize there is a need to wrap our heads around what we are experiencing and how it fits into our lives. Blogging is a great way to reflect. When I think about blogging, the comment Ewan McIntosh made during BLC08 resinates with me – I blog for me, I blog to reflect and learn, I do not blog for other people, I do it for myself (not a direct quote, but close enough).
As I move from lurker to blogger, I hope to use my blog to reflect on what is bouncing around in my head and how all the information (tweets,blogs, email, journals) I receive from other educators is pertinent to my professional development and my every day work.
Blog On!

Thanks for reminding me about Ewen’s comment. I think the beauty of blogging for your own understanding, reflection and connection is that it will be inherently of value to others… please do blog on!
