Vaughan Setting an Example (Alyssa Becker photos)
Full disclosure? I tweet a lot. I tweet out links to others blogs all of the time. Many of these blogs are about why educators need to tweet and write blogs themselves as part of their continued commitment to personal growth and learning. As you can see... that makes me somewhat of a hypocrite. I have a blog... 4 actually, and a number of wikis, but... my contribution to them has been less than stellar lately. In fact, I just imported my grad school blog entries and the latest one is from 2009. :( My concern has always been my propensity for verbal diarrhea, and the fact that most of my colleagues are so tired of my voice and opinion by the time a day is done, a blog seems a sadistic and ego centric endeavour. Alas, as I head into a summer with a Communications 11 class waiting for me in next year's schedule, I return to writing as a part of my own learning, so that I can share it authentically with my students in a few months time. I will be looking to my friends, those I see physically, and those I know digitally, for guidance, tips, and support as I navigate my growth, learning, sharing, and holding back. I apologize in advance.
