Blogging then and now

Im digging the blogging thing.  While i am learning that blogging can be used as an unbelievable resource for learning and sharing about different educational topics, so far it looks like most of us in the class are only using it to be vocal about assignments and projects in class.  This has to be great feed back to Doc Luongo as she goes through our blogs and sees what students like and dislike.  

I did like edublogger world.  if you think about how powerful of a connection you are able to make as a teacher--that you can chat and get feedback from teachers all around the world--what an incredible resource.  This has to improve education overall, and has to improve your ability to reach your students.  

One thing I dont like about blogging is the fact that we have to blog about certain topics.  I guess it does force us to blog, but i am much more into the blogs that i type when i have something that i am angry about and want to rant on.  It allows me to be more entertaining and free to express myself, than to be forced to formulate an opinion and fumble through it.
