If I could have one wish for the upcoming school year, it would be to get all teachers on board with Blogging. There are tons of testimonies out there in various forms that share the importance of blogging. Here is a place to get started called Blog Basics and Blogging Tips for Teachers. Personally, if you do not enjoy blogging or reflecting on your work, please make it a goal this year to allow and encourage students to blog. Teachers have many opportunities to use blogging in their curriculum with students. I can promise you, if you agree to try it for a month, you will have students hooked and who knows, you may see how it benefits your lessons. I love this visual on reasons to blog by Sylvia Duckworth. It came across on my Twitter feed.
