Blogging “makes” better teachers by Dean Shareski

Another great post by Dean Shareski “How To Make Better Teachers“.

His idea is clear and simple: use a blog, to connect with others, to tell them about what you are doing, to learn with and from others, and also to show your students you are ready to go through the experience yourself. It is also an excellent way so as to leave a trail of your daily activities, efforts, achievements, reflections, and more.

There is a whole community of teachers ready to learn and share with you, so take the plunge and get a blog
