Why I Started Blogging

Monday, June 1, 2015 - 11 comments
I started blogging last summer.  Last year was my first year of teaching and reading teacher's blogs helped me immensely during the school year.  I loved all of the resources available and being able to collaborate with other teachers.  The community of teachers seemed so supportive and genuine.
Once I was recharged from last school year, I dove right into blogging.

My main reasons I decided to blog:
-Meet teachers in my licensure area
-Supportive community
-Endless resources
-Collaborate: recently I have really enjoyed participating in various book studies
-Receive feedback
-Personalized professional development
-Share ideas
-Reflect on my teaching experiences
share tweet google + pin it

    Allie, blogging is a great tool for new teachers! I wish there had been such a thing when I started teaching. I think that collaboration is critical in becoming a strong teacher.
