"To Blog or Not to Blog" that is the Question

For the past nine months, the Curriculum Technology Partners have had an assignment.  That assignment was to start blogging.  With this assignment has come great discussion and debate about "To Blog or Not to Blog".  I have found a nice little list of reasons "To Blog".  Maybe this list will help you (and my colleagues) decide if blogging is for you!

A blog is a simple, cost-effective way to create a professional online presence.

A blog allows you to quickly and easily create a place on the web where people can find you, learn about you, and communicate with you. 

A blog allows you to have an ongoing conversation about topics that are important to you.

A blog allows you to take control of what you publish, you get to choose the content.

A blog allows you to share ideas, hobbies, interests, and expertise.

A blog creates a historical record of your content.

Whether you’re blogging to complete an assignment, for your business, or blogging to share your passions; your posts form a record that will grow over time.  Individual bloggers can refer back to posts as if they were journal entries, an online record of what you are reading, looking at or thinking about.  It's like a digital portfolio of your thoughts!

So, "To Blog or Not to Blog"?  I think it is safe to say this blogger is hooked!
