I'm guilty. I admit it. I follow blogs from other educators and gather ideas for my classroom and campus. What's fantastic about the education profession is that there is not only one "right way" to teach and learn. What's even more fantastic about educator's blogs is that we can share how we teach and learn in order to help eachother. Ultimately, we use this information to help our students. Education is constantly in motion with new ideas and approaches being created daily. Blogs are an efficient and effective way to communicate to your colleagues what you have found that works, or doesn't work, in the classroom. Blogs allow for mass communication and a sharing of ideas beyond a single campus, school district, city or even state. By writing, sharing and reading blogs, educators are participating in professional development every day. Blogs allow us to be fresh and up to date with current practices. I don't currently write an educational blog, except for this newly created one, but will continue to stalk, I mean visit, other teacher's blogs for encouragement, ideas and creative solutions.
Cheers!

I really enjoyed how you wrote your blog piece. It reads really smooth!!! I also love to stalk(visit) other teacher's blogs. Pinterest is the best place in my opinion. Our district open this site up for us this year for us to use. I think it is great that our profession is so willing to share ideas!!Great blog!!!!
