Why do I blog?
Why do I blog? Who do I blog for? I was asked these questions while attending the MassCUE Technology Leaders Symposium. I didn’t have a ready answer. It required some reflection. Here is the short answer.
I started blogging just to try it out. As a K12 technology integration specialist I need to experiment with and read up on the new tools and technologies out there. I need to be aware of how to use them, it is my role to offer options and support to classroom teachers. I am also a firm believer that you learn by doing, experience is really the best teacher. I continue to blog because it allows my ideas to condense and coalesce. It will also provide an archive of my thoughts and learning.
Who do I blog for? At first it was just an exercise in “how to” so I did not have a target audience. Now most of my entries are continuations of face-to-face and on going e-mail conversations with classroom teachers and fellow technology specialists. So I guess they would be my target audience. But I must say I also write for me.
