Why do I blog?

Filed Under Musings 

I often ask myself why I bother to work on this blog. I have ideas on how technology can be put to use in the class, but does anybody really care?

Michele Martin summarized it neatly (along with help from Tom Peters and Seth Godin): Blogging helps you organize your thoughts in a succinct way and then gives you the opportunity to present those same thoughts to the world. If you get good at it some people may actually read what you have to say. If people aren’t yet reading you, then the exercise of blogging helps you to learn how to think intelligently and present your case clearly.

In a world where vacuous T.V., empty election slogans and promises, and mindless video games occupy much of the mental power of even some of the most intelligent people I know, it’s hard to come up with a better reason to blog.
