“An education isn’t how much you have committed to memory, or even how much you know. It’s being able to differentiate between what you do know and what you don’t.” - Anotole France (1844-1924)

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:

  1. Blogging in and of itself is a creative process
  2. Education is such a huge topic that one needs some reflective thought put into it
  3. What do I know….I know that I know little, and that there is a world of unknown thoughts and ideas to discover
  4.  I am branching out and trying new things, as all people should
  5. If you are the least bit interested in the topic of education, you should blog about it…
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. i.e. When someone asks you why? You can respond by saying why not!
  9. Education is at a tipping point.
  10. More and more teachers will be required to teach the growing population of young students.
  11. At some point we will have to ask ourselves, who will replace the large population of teachers set to retire.
  12. Blogging, it seems, seems to be my natural outlet to express and share some views on education.
  13. 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…
  14. 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.
