Why Blog on Education?
Let’s see…it is topical. It’s worthwhile. Are there things that you would rather read about? I hope not, otherwise, you wouldn’t be here. I think blogging on education is more important now than ever because:
- Blogging in and of itself is a creative process
- Education is such a huge topic that one needs some reflective thought put into it
- What do I know….I know that I know little, and that there is a world of unknown thoughts and ideas to discover
- I am branching out and trying new things, as all people should
- If you are the least bit interested in the topic of education, you should blog about it…
- Blogging is a way to get your ideas down on paper (screen) so you can unlock your mind and let the words flow from your fingertips. Heck, that’s what I seem to be doing right now!
- Why not blog about education? There is a classic story of a student taking a philisophy exam with a giant question mark for the question. The response was a giant exclamation point.
- i.e. When someone asks you why? You can respond by saying why not!
- Education is at a tipping point.
- More and more teachers will be required to teach the growing population of young students.
- At some point we will have to ask ourselves, who will replace the large population of teachers set to retire.
- Blogging, it seems, seems to be my natural outlet to express and share some views on education.
- I have no Master’s degree or PhD behind my name, so I haven’t published any scholarly article on education…so the blog continues…
- It’s fun. I’ll keep doing it until it ceases to be fun and rewarding. Please keep reading and post my blog link, or Digg it! Thanks.
