To Blog or Not to Blog...

Once per quarter I create a Technology Newsletter for the staff at the high school where I teach. As I was putting it together today I was thinking...is this something I should turn into a blog? It seems like a perfect way to get teachers talking about technology and how they use it in their classrooms, but my concern is that no one will participate. How can I get teachers blogging? How do I inspire them to read and talk about technology and how they use it? How can I make a difference?

It is funny. If this were my students I would just do it (I already have them blogging). Why is it so hard to put it out there with my peers?

Inspiration

Last week I attended and presented at the Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference. My partner in crime...Pam Harland, added this to our presentation Wikis that Work and I'll tell you it got me ready for EVERYTHING!
