It’s been 3 years to the day since I started my blog and wrote my first posting. Since then I have wrote a total of 75 postings. I need to admit that 11 have been posted in Feb this year as part of #29daysofwriting. So overall I have roughly been posting 1.7 articles every month.
A lot has changed for me over the period. To take just one example, back in 2013 I was living and working in the UAE whereas now I am back in the UK. Technology has changed. We now live in a world of mobile devices with Google apps and office 365 facilitating increasing levels of communication and collaboration. The world as a whole has changed.
I have at time found the process of blogging to be difficult in terms of finding the time, identifying appropriate topics and also motivating myself to undertake the actual creation of blog pieces. That said it had been a worthwhile experience. Looking back the blog provides me a window on my past thinking and on how my beliefs, ideas and thoughts have changed over the period. The process of blogging has required me to think through my assumptions and question my beliefs. It has required me to consider different viewpoints and perspectives. It has also resulted in discussions with other educators from across the world who have shared both views consistent and inconsistent with my thinking. This again had required me to re-evaluate and question my perspective and viewpoint.
I am glad I have put the effort into blogging and I intend to continue doing so going forward hopefully with increasing regularity. I look forward to reading the blogs of others so if you aren’t blogging yet I would encourage you to start and of you do please let me know so I can have a read. Looking forward to it!!!
Keep Sharing!!
