Essential #2: Blogs

This essential is about creating and maintaining Blogs (web logs).  I initially created this blog when I thought I was going to be able to do the RESA online course. The blog has been sitting, with only two posts. It was great to have the refresher/review video segments, and then to spend time remembering what password I had created when I first set this site up. After I accessed my blog, I deleted the previous two entries and now I am ready to begin.

As I visited various blogs from the four different blogging sites suggested, I realized that large amounts of time can be consumed in reading what other authors have posted.  I also began to discern that blogs differ in quality of content.  For example, one of the blogs on quality instruction (http://quality-instruction.blogspot.com/) was really weak. One day the post just dealt with gathering all the pens and pencils out of a drawer and putting them in a cup; and if it was going for a deeper meaning,I think the symbolism was lost.

I subscribed to a site titled, Principal Reflections, because I found that I could relate to what the blogger was saying. The content was something I could relate to, gain insights from and connect with.  It seemed to me that I would be able to find helpful information/resources from this author.
