I am an Educational Blogger...

I started my blogging journey in the summer of 2010, and I really wasn't sure what I expected to get out of blogging. Chris McGee (@cmcgee200) is an Educator for whom I have a great deal of respect, and since he was blogging and encouraging me to do the same, I figured there had to be some kind of benefit to blogging. At the time, I had no idea of the role that blogging would start to play in my life...

- blogging is now something that I look forward to...
- sharing my experiences & thoughts through blogging have been instrumental in my growth...
- blogging has improved my writing skills...
- blogging allows me to be a part of the larger educational discussion going on around the world
- blogging makes me think twice about some of the things I am doing as an Educator...
- blogging has given me a diverse and broad audience to communicate and share with...
- my blog posts have helped Educators from around the world to reflect and grow...(I hope)
- blogging has helped me be a more well-rounded Educator...

In an effort to share the power of blogging for Educators I asked members of my PLN and the Twitterverse to share what they think is their most influential and most important blog post. I would consider this list to be a "best of the best" kind of list, and I would encourage you to take some time to check out some of these awesome posts:

More than 90 Educators share their "best..."


Please feel free to add to the list if you come across a great blog post, or if you have one to add yourself.
