And that, ladies and gentlemen is how this 'connecting and speaking to communities through weBLOGs and PodCasts' works. I too enjoyed meeting Graham & chatting with other edu bloggers at the event. This stuff works because it is centered on people - you can go to my blog and find out more about me (how I am feeling about business, my daughters first band performance), or to James Farmer's and read how he is feeling about his life, citizenship, job and family right now. And thanks to the ongoing public conversation I now know about 'EDGE U BLOGGING - Doug Noon' and from what I have read so far, I like the cut of his jib. Great post Graham – to which I would add…

I hear Graham’s point about “teachers being bloggers first before imposing it on their students,” because I’ve said before, and I continue to believe that teachers who want to use blogs with their students need to blog themselves. You can say, as Graham does, “…there might something of immense value in it (blogging) for you as a professional and as a person.” I agree, but we know that people hear this kind of thing all the time and nobody listens. Advice about health and diet are a good example of good-for-you things that we all make up our own minds about. In my experience this argument appeals only to people who are already inclined to hear it. [...] [...] Graham’s post, Blogging Masterclass Reflections, grabbed my attention.
