Educational Blogs

The act 'blogging' to share and gather information is a very new process for me.  However, I can see the value in the process.  It is a way to capture "thinking" about a question.  As we think and share ideas we can benefit from the contributtions of other professional who are asking and/or answering similar quesitons.As I  teach my students everyday about the concept that we live in a global society, it is also true for educators.  We go to work for 8 hours a day (most of us spend much more), and then we yearn for opprotunities to share and question our practices.  We look for ways to share our expereiences and seek advice for our practices that aren't working.  The addittion Web 2.0 tools like blogging has opened a new avenue for open disucssions for teachers all over the world.
