After reading my daughter’s ideas as to why “students should blog” I have decided to record my own thoughts as to why one should blog.
1. It’s a great world of discovery - reading other people’s blogs and gaining ideas from them
2. A world of challenges - the challenge is to find something to write about.
3. It is good fun once you get accustomed to it.
4. A great sense of achievement.
5. A sense of satisfaction when people from all over the world visit or read your blog.
6. Makes me think about what is happening around me - my home life, school life and community life.
7. Improving my computer skills - keeps me intouch with some of the things that my children are doing on the computer. I am able to communicate with them through “blogging”.
8. Good for professional development.
9. Because lots of others are doing it!
10. Becomes a personal record for you.
Hey Anne-Maree - fabulous blog. You have included some wonderful thoughts and photos and I think it is highly interesting. Well done. I know what you mean about the challenges, particularly now that I am doing the photo a week challenge which I set for the year 6 and 7 kids. Maybe you would like to try that out too. Cheers xoxoxo

July 18, 2008 @ 5:54 amLove this list! I’m going to blog about it on my blog. It really is a great world of discovery, isn’t it? It’s also very addictive. Maybe you’ll be spending much more time in front of your computer - then you won’t be able to pick on me about it so much
Blogging opens so many doors and it is great to see people like you take up the challenge as it is hard work in the early stages. I love seeing your comments on why people should blog and your reasons so closely resemble that of the students and mine. Those ‘measles’ dots mean so much to us all.
