THE FINAL WORD (Poll Results)!

Have you (or a teacher you know) written about your teaching in a blog?

Fifty percent (50%) of the people to took last week's poll on our site have written or know a teacher who has written about their teaching in a blog. The remaining fifty (50%) of the people to take last week's poll have not and/or do not know a teacher who has written about their teaching in the blog.

Educators blogging about their teaching helps us share and explore ideas, and take part in a larger community. The blog posts may be about an announcement or a question, comment or concern that makes you think, and brings others into a conversation about ideas.

Will Richardson writes about the difference between having a blog and "blogging." in his December 4th, 2006 posting. He writes:

Ok, so here’s my beef, again. Blogs are powerful communication tools. Blogs are powerful publishing tools. But blogging (the verb) is still much more than that to me. Blogging, as in reading and thinking and reflecting and then writing, is connecting and learning, neither of which are discussed in the article. (And maybe they weren’t meant to be, I know) I’m not knocking what Tim or his teachers are doing, I think it’s great. But I’m just asking the question: how are his teachers modeling the use of blogs to learn not just to teach?
