Why Keep a Blog

I have really enjoyed blogging through the years. I find that it has sharpened my writing skills and given me a forum to express my opinion. I am vain enough to enjoy the attention I get from my readers!! And I've made friends from all over the world!

Truly, I have a friend in Virginia, who I met through blogging, and she has become a very valuable resource for me. She is an English teacher, one who has many years of experience under her belt. I actually used an email she sent me as the backbone of my classroom management project. Her advice has been invaluable.

As much as I enjoy blogging, I think my students will enjoy it even more. In a culture dominated by YouTube and reality television shows, blogging satisfies the need to put yourself out there and to use technology. But it also satisfies a teacher's need to get her students to write more! I hope to use blogs as a part of my classroom environment.
