I’ve been an admirer and reader of Chris Sessums for a while. But this post has really touched in what I’ve been trying to share for some time now with educators all over when we have the Electronic Village blogging4educators sessions.
It’s all about a purpose.
So, how’s my blogging related to my business?
As an educator, my blog reflects who I am, my interests, my passions, my drives, so then it’s an open space for sharing and learning. By blogging and reflecting, I can improve who I am, try to think outside the box, get other’s input, establish new connections. It makes me move forward and it directly influences my teaching and my approaches to learning and teaching. Since I started blogging, I have certainly become an educator who truly believes in the power of collective learning and building of knowledge.
Blogging is transformative and makes me change every day, and I hope it reflects on the new learning opportunities I’m providing my learners with.
Thanks, Chris, for starting this!
I’d love to hear from my friends Cris Costa, Mary Hillis, Gladys Baya, Vance Stevens , Ronaldo Jr., Bee Dieu .
So, guys, how does your blogging relate to your business?
As Chris suggested, pass this question on to people around you…An interesting, basic question that should guide us in our blogging world.
Here’s a video Chris shared with some fresh perspective of some educators about why they’re blogging and how:
Hi Carla,
Thanks a lot for your comment on my blog. I blog for conversations with myself and with my students and friends. Blogging has become for me a kind of good compulsive obsession. I just can´t help it. I am always thinking about blogging this or that idea. I am also adicted to reading other people´s blogs and ocmmenting on them. I guess blogging is very intuitive and that is one of the many reasons why I blog.
Beijos

It was great reading about your reflection and doing one of my own too. You’re a blogging inspiration.
Dear Mary, Cris, Ronaldo and José Antônio,
Isn’t it interesting how we are intertwined in thoughts, projects, ideas just because we started blogging and connecting to each other in the blogosphere besides our other personal and professional links?
Though I know you all, through blogging I can see another facet of you four, and this is extremely fascinating, enriching, addictive…
Thanks for the connections!
Blog is the only way to exchange meaningful communication between people who shares the same passion and ideas. It is the best thing ever happened in Internet
@ Blog Money. I don’t know if it’s the best thing ever, but it’s certainly one of the best ways I’ve found to connect with like-minded educators. You’re totally right, it’s a wonderful way to share with people who are passionate about a topic. I learn everyday.
