Blogging about Blogging

Seems rather funny that my first blogging assignment for my ed-tech class is to blog about blogging. Anyway, I thought that I would take the opportunity to reflect on a part of the reading for the class. In our reading for this week, it mentions the use of blogging as a tool for facilitating a professional development community. I never really thought about the use of a blog to be a running PD dialogue for a school community. I know that it also discusses the ability to go beyond your school walls to connect with other educators. But, I found the possibility interesting to have all teachers in one school on one internal blog so that they could cross pollinate ideas, share reactions to a common PD book (kind of like an online book club),  and just generally post links to other articles or ideas that they have which could help their peers professional growths. The one questions which I ponder is how motivated teachers would be to actually check the blog or post to it, especially if they are not so tech savvy. But even if they are, it is still one more thing to do in an already busy line of work.
