The article "The-Virtues-of-Blogging" was a difficult to read in the beginning. When they were talking about creating a video, podcast, blog post, and slide cast I had no idea what they were referring to. As an educator it was interesting to see how teachers have access to information and different forms of content that are available to them through blogging. The fact that it is free is also a positive aspect. As mentioned in the article, in the past resources were more difficult to find and possible quiet expensive. There was an individual who I thought did not agree with many of the other bloggers, (if that is what they are called). He did however make an important point. He stated that individuals have to be educated on how to work this process and to understand the importance of it. I do believe the author of the article, when he mentioned that the positive aspects of blogging outweigh the negative. One thing I find fascinating is that how a blog post gets immediate feedback.
It is exciting for me to see the benefits of blogging. I have asked several people if they know what blogging is and I realized I was not the only one who did not have a clear understanding of the process. I would like to learn more about how to work with technology so that I can help my students be successful throughout their education years. I enjoyed reading the different blogs from all of the individuals who posted. It is evident that blogging is essential to many scholars.
