Treasure Chest of Thoughts

This is the question. 

A question that I have been debating since I read a post on this very topic.  (I would love to give credit where credit is due for this thought, but since I have subscribed to 70+ blogs and since that thought seemed to echo later on, I “lost” who commented on this.  Sorry!)

To read or to write what?  The answer?  Blogs.

I want to incorporate blogs more within my classes this fall, and until reading this blog, I had thought the focus should be posting to a blog. 

The above referenced blogger commented that bloggers spend more time reading blogs than posting to them.  I agree.  I do.

I spend much more time reading those 70+ blogs than I do posting to this one.  Not because I do not enjoy writing nor because I do not appreciate the reflective nature of such posts, but because 1) I do not always have something to say to such a venue and 2) I really like reading what others have to say!

Thus, my focus has changed.  Now to help my students find the blogs of merit that they will want to read because those bloggers have “good things” to say. 

Then they can write as inspiration strikes (okay, or as I prompt them to write on topics of class-merit!).
