What does blogging mean to me?

I have more than one blog on the internet, but this one is different. Sure you will ask why?
Here is the reason why it is so. Since I started having blogs on the internet, I have been  reblogging only, I have never expressed my thoughts or reflections on anything. Being a teacher who is interested in technology, I asked my self, why don't I make use of such tech-gift for the benefit of my students and my colleagues and that's what I have decided to do from now on. Not just to be a reblogger or a transporter of the others' ideas, but to put some of ideas into practice to contribute adequately to my community.
Here comes another question, how?
I am thinking for making my blog as a hub for English language learning and teaching, a place where my students and colleagues find it useful for their learning and teaching.

Blogs could be reached anywhere, there is no need to be with my students in one place to communicate or interact. All what we need is just a computer connected to the internet. I can recap topics taught in class, follow up their homework or respond timely to their questions and much more.

  2. Congratulations on setting up your blog! I am so looking forward reading your though provoking entries! Remember that the purpose of this blog, as stated in the course syllabus, is to reflect thoughtfully on your thinking as you experience this class. Each entry should reflect issues related to new ideas, challenges faced, insights or “aha” moments, thoughtful questions, clarifications needed, and/or appraise opinions related to the ideas studied or expressed in the articles, or discussed in class. I can see that your thinking cap is ON!
