Description
In this brief, practical pocket guide, Sackstein, author of the blog “Work in Progress” in Education Week Teacher argues that educators should blog because blogging encourages reflection and accountability and helps develop a unique teaching voice. She reviews platform choices, including self-hosting, and gives step-by-step instructions for setting up the blog using the Blogger program. Connecting with an audience, creating a community of bloggers, and understanding privacy issues are all discussed. The book’s two-color layout contains screenshots, bullet tips, summary tables, and reflection questions. An appendix lists real-life example blogs.
