The Power of the Educational Blog

An educational blog is a medium that allows you to chronicle your thoughts and ideas instantly.  No more fleeting thoughts or “aha” moments that you forget because you lose the paper you jotted them down on.  Technology at your fingertips not only opened doors, it created new ones. 

On your unique personalized blog, you are the author, you have the choice to keep your thoughts private or feel the power of collaboration with your colleagues.  It is an open forum for expressing your thoughts, experiences, brainstorming, seeking advice, sharing advice, or even tooting your own horn. 

Each blog is like its own document that you can actively interact with your followers on.  The exciting aspect of this feature is that it allows you to revisit your ideas at a later date and refine or recreate them.  Sometimes, crucial insights on how something can come together only happen after you have revisited the idea on multiple occasions over time.

I believe one of the most beneficial aspects of the blog is it is a vehicle that allows you to clear your mind and body of the emotional and mental stress that can easily build in the education sector. It is a source of tremendous “release.”

In essence, the educational blog is a limitless tool for inquiry and professional growth.
