The beauty of blogging as a tool (for me) is the high level of transparency it affords. It allows you to justify certain texts or lessons in a way that “traditional“ methods never can. You should try to read as widely as possible, and comment just as often. That is how you build up your knowledge and audience… and also, your enjoyment! It might be valuable for you to read a recent post by Karyn Romeis which goes into why and how people started using social networking tools as well as inviting people to outline what they have got out of using those self-same tools. Good luck with the course, and I'm looking forward to reading your thoughts!

We certainly do learn by conversations, discussions and disagreements. The more we communicate, the better we understand each other and why we do (and teach) what we do.

Doesn't it feel good when one of our colleagues comments or connects to something we are doing? Conversations, discussions, disagreements... it's part of how we learn.
