Why Every Teacher Should Blog - Reason #3
Friday, June 8, 2007Since I have begun my adventures in blogging, I have been amazed at how well teachers stick together. I've met (virtually) a lot of different people from all over the world and can honestly say that it's been an extremely rewarding experience. Specifically (in the last two months alone), I have spoken, emailed, or chatted with teachers from Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Romania, Greece, Bangladesh, Canada, Brazil, and from dozens of states across the United States.
Reason #3 - Blogging allows you to communicate with other teachers which, in turn, allows you to learn from each other.
Which is why I'm excited to attend the upcoming Edubloggercon. It will be fun to learn more about how blogging can be a highly educational medium.

Yes, amazing how physical location is no barrier. I have found teachers who blog are extremely giving and helpful with links/resources etc and always looking for collaborations. Its just such an easy way of communicating with other 'like-minded' educators from around the globe. Funny to think that I've only ever seen one photo (usually profile photo) of these teachers yet we communicate so often.
Enjoying your Why Every Teacher should blog reasons too... like the way you are staggering the posts.... keep us eager for more ;)

Thanks Rachel. Remember, it was your comments that got me started with this thing (blog).
I'm curious to see how many reasons I can post. I have a few ideas for future reasons/posts, but really have no idea how many I/we can come up with.
Thanks for your comments-
