Benefits of Educator Blogs

I have never  been one to post much on Facebook or Twitter because I didn't think anyone else really wanted to know what I thought.    But since I have started this program and I have seen my fellow colleague's  blogs and started blogging myself I can see the benefit of a blog.  The blog makes me think about my research and dig a little deeper to find a way to accomplish the task at hand and to help my students achieve success.  The most important thing to me is that my students excel.  It is beneficial for educators to be able to communicate with other educators and find that we are all trying to achieve the same goal and we have similar struggles.  It is also great to be able to share success stories when we find something that works for our students.
