blog or blow it
I’m a new blogger, with very few responses thus far on my blog, but I know that as someone working in learning I should be doing it. I put it off for a long time but once I started the big bell in my little head rung loud and clear.
I blog for myself, primarily. To organise my thoughts, to record the journey I’m on. And having got into it I firmly believe that all those working in learning should blog, about their subject or specialist interest. HE academics are expected to publish research and I see the blog (certainly in the way I use it) as a kind of trickle-down effect; I’m not publishing formal research but am I doing a watered-down version, commensurate with my part-time position in FE! Stephen Downes puts it so much better of course, and the discussion started on the Learning Circuits blog.

Hi, I know what you mean about getting very few responses. I set up my blog to learn how to do it, and to model for teachers and students, but I still feel that I am ‘having a conversation with myself’ (as i have titled many of my intros. to the blog).
But as you say, it does help organise your thoughts. Still it would be nice to get a few responses. I haven’t had time to post much lately. Hope the upgrade goes OK! Enjoy your conversation!
