There are so many reasons to Blog. For many, many years, there has been a voice inside me that worries about failing. It whispers things like, "don't post your thoughts until you really understand what you are talking about," or "leave it to the experts to share it the right way," or "no one will really care what you have to say." They are all terrible reasons to refrain from beginning a blog. So here I am trying to begin a blog, again. I think it's a good time to reflect on why I know this is the right time for a new beginning.
I have always feared sharing my thoughts about technology integration and education because I do worry. I worry that someone will disagree, or that I would appear ignorant because I haven't heard all the sides. Now, I think this is the right reason for me to begin blogging. I only know what I have read and experienced. By blogging, I will open the door to collaborating with others who have different experiences and knowledge. By chance, if there is one person out there that can benefit from my posts, I'll consider this a success.
Often times, I'm sharing my ideas, apps I've discovered, and sharing the amazing things I see occurring in the classroom. It's about time that I put it on-line to share with the rest of my Professional Learning Network. My PLN is my inspiration.
