One of the reasons I started this blog was to become more connected with other educators all over the country. I joined Twitter for the same reason. However, I’m finding that it can be difficult to keep up with all the many tools I can used to be connected. I’m trying to actively Tweet ideas and ask questions - and I feel I’m headed in the right direction there. However, I’m really struggling with the blog. I’ve had many ideas of what to blog about, but I find it difficult to find/make time to get my ideas out of my head and written down. Being a connected educator cannot happen by accident, so if it’s something I want, I have to make time for it. But, we all know this can be difficult in the education world - we have so many things pulling us in so many directions and everything seems like a priority. So, which priority is more of a priority?
Connected Educator Inspiration:
I found this article on Twitter when I searched #connecteded. It suggest to “block out time to get connected” - setting aside 30 minutes of your work week. Thirty minutes is totally doable - surely I can write at least one post a week in 30 minutes. Theoretically, that is my plan, but I’m stuck at the theoretical stage. I had every intention to do some blogging on Saturday, but life got in the way.
How/when do you make time for blogging and intentionally connecting?
