I really enjoyed reading the “Why I Blog, a A Principal’s 13 reasons”. There are many compelling reasons to Blog. I really like the idea of blogging to develop vision. Blogs, as the author states, are not static, but rather real time thinking in action. As a potential future leader, I think blogging would be a great way to continue to refine and develop this vision as a leader.
I think the most compelling is to blog as a tool for reflection on my own learning. Blogging is a great way to really pause and think about what I have read or what I have been learning. I also find blogging tough. It is hard to find the time. It is hard to think of what to write. I feel like it won’t be of interest to anyone, or that I don’t have anything new to contribute. I read some blogs about blogging, and this one from one of my favourite bloggers AJ Juliani spoke to many of my hesitations about blogging: http://ajjuliani.com/blogs-still-matter-2017/
He writes about why blogs still matter in 2017. I think about how many Blogs I read, and certainly I read a lot of different Blogs and look forward to them coming out so I can continue my learning.
So I hope to continue writing, and continue blogging. These readings have really inspired me to continue working away at this!
