I am a doctoral student at Seton Hall University (Administration & Leadership) and our cohort was recently introduced to the world of blogging and twitter; the class was even taught by Will Richardson and Alan November. I knew about these tools for quite some time (I love Web 2.0 technology and its potential) but saw blogs as mainly sources of megalomania. I am seeing many blogs from my colleagues (both in education and in the cohort) as mainly feeds of thoughts and experiences - much more like journals than conversation starters. Your blog is much different though. It is thought provoking and serves as a model for my own blog. Though I have not morphed completely into your realm, I am tailoring my blog to be more provoking and challenging. I agree that many blogs should begin to take on a more academic and intellectual role in education. Simply starting a blog to say you do it is futile and our students will be no better for taking part in a pointless teacher or education blog. Blogs can evolve into places where rich and debatable topics are woven and available for public consumption. For now, many blogs will serve as homes for ranting, group think, and validation of personal opinion. I'll keep reading you if you keep provoking. Doug,

They either move forward in a process of transformation, or they are allowed to die. I suppose my blog is still read because transformation happens so rarely there (grin). Take care, Miguel Some blogs aren’t alive at all. They either move forward in a process of transformation, or they are allowed to die.

Take care,
