Im still enjoying this. Blogging is somewhat therapeutic I think. Education and technology are fun topics for me to talk about. So, this kind of thing feels very natural. In seeing a few other blogs, it seems like others are having fun with it too. Here is my only concern: sometimes I wonder if anyone will ever read these posts. If I randomly put the work "taco" in a blog post, will anyone see it or care that its there? I dont think so. But honestly, I dont think it matters. The blogs have been good for me. Ive learned things by doing this research and Ive felt good about expressing some reflections. So, if someone wants to write something silly in the middle of a blog post, go for it. Chances are I will never catch it. Just make sure you enjoy the research and try to learn something along the way.
I dont think the same is true for our kids though. I believe having an audience that cares is very important to them. Passionate adults can blog our hearts out about topics we love, and if no one reads it, who cares? Its still good for us! But most kids are not going to buy it. Of course we would require students to post to each others blogs and that is a step in the right direction. It is still important to make the students feel like the work has a purpose. Read it. Comment on it. Tell them in person that you enjoy the work. Try to get it posted where others can see and enjoy it. All good things!
