gives me a little more incentive to be on the look-out for new resources — and pushes me to be a little more creative in my thinking about how to use them

I agree 100% that blogging allows a teacher to become inspired about other ideas. I find myself becoming inspired by other teacher blogs that I stumble across when "pinning" something on Pinterest.

When I am bored, I go to the pinterest app on my iphone and look for inspirations for new lesson ideas, units, crafts, plans, etc. You name it, and you can find new and exciting ideas. I also like to take the ideas and alter them just a little to fit into my classroom and make it fit with my needs. You're right Marie, teacher blogs are also FILLED with wonderful ideas. As a first year teacher, I have been able to incorporate so many different teaching techniques thanks to blogs and apps. I wouldn't be nearly as "creative" without them :-)

It’s a privilege to virtually “meet” so many other teachers with wisdom to offer.

I have learned so much from reading blogs or articles written by veteran teachers! They encourage me to try new ideas or to avoid my spur of the moment ideas because they have tried them before! You learn so much about how to become a better teacher when you have the ability to talk out the "problems" or ideas you face everyday!

Good addition here! One of his reasons for blogging nicely coincides with our recent reading and discussion of Hsu, et al. on Web 2.0 as Cognitive Tools - i.e., "provides me with a forum to clarify my thinking about the on-going classroom management and instructional challenges" When he notes that blog writing helps to clarify his thinking, this is precisely what Hsu, et al. are getting at in their article.
