Blogging within a Professional Learning Community

In my search for ways to incorporate technology, I have encountered several Blogs written by educators that were thought provoking. The following Blog challenges us to consider blogging as a community learning tool. In fact, this site includes Blogs and comments from educators who are considering the same question. While some think that the fact that teachers do not Blog is due to the lack of support or understanding from their administrators, others feel they are not prepared to contribute in writing to a public audience. Regardless of the reason, I have chosen to share this link because I feel that before we embark on the incorporation of technology in the classroom we should re-examine our motives for doing so. Is it a matter of personal comfort level or resistance toward change?
Personally, I am finding that the benefits for collaboration surpass any old habits we may have and I can only wonder about the hidden benefits of blogging in students’ intellectual development.
