The Benefits of Blogging as a Student/Teacher

This is the first time that I am writing a blog. I have only writen a few entries but I am realizing that blogging offers me a lot of benefits. 

Firstly, blogging gives me the opportunity to express myself by writing about my personal reflections and ideas about what I'm learning.  It's like my personal diary, where I can post things that I consider interesting to remember as a teacher. So, this blog is my personal storage of resources, information and personal experiences related to teaching practices in childhood education. Here I can store all this information, without occupying unnecessary space in papers. In this way, I can have my thoughts and knowledge ordered without losing it.

Also, all this information can be useful for other people. Every time that I post something in my blog I am sharing it with all of you, who can comment my posts. So I can get your responses to my questions, your viewpoints and your thoughts. By receiving your feedback, I can learn a lot of new things from you too, getting different points of view and a more critical vision about what I'm sharing.

Moreover, blogging is a good way to be connected with other education colleagues in order to share knowledge, resources and experiences that can be useful for all of us. We have to be constantly recycling ourselves because our society is constantly changing. And blogging can make it possible to discover other points of view and other ideas and ways to teach.
