Why Blog?
Diaries, journals, and blogs. What do these have in common and why would the average educator find any of these necessary? All three are ways to communicate our thoughts, our ideas and opinions. Diaries are personal, a journal invites a controlled audience, but blogging opens the door to an unlimited audience. Personal writing of any kind helps a person develop not only as a writer, but as a thoughtful person. Blogging however, brings about the strongest level of development because it allows ideas to be challenged resulting in more effective communication and stronger reflection. What educator wouldn't see the value in that? Not the average educator!

I can see the relation of the three forms of communication and the purpose for each and agree. I will add that as we share in blogging it not only opens the door critiquing and offering opinions to others and it allows us to be exposed to new ideas. We learn from what other's have to share through their experiences as well as offer insight to wonderings. Blogging allows us to expand our knowledge, gives us insight and confirmation. With the availability of ideas and information, blogging has become a tool that administrators and others can use to improve themselves and their performance.
