Great graphic, and so true! Some ask me how I find time to blog and keep my diigo account up to date- I say it saves me time! Having my ideas and resources organized on diigo allows me to write blog posts about various topics that I can then refer people to my posts when they ask for resources. Yes, it is worth it!
Great graphic, David. I’m going to use this in my blogging workshops. I really appreciate how you tie in:
1. The paramount issue of time and;
2. How you address the immediate No’s. I like how you don’t stop at “you need a change” but instead offer up blogging as a way to reconnect them with their “element.” As educators, it’s so easy to disregard the disinterested but true leadership lies in actively engaging everyone within a community.
I was just looking at bookmarking some sites about teachers and blogging and ran across your graphic and I just have to make myself realize that I need to blog to constantly challenge myself. Is blogging the new technology of keeping a journal and having it open to those who want to share with you?

Yeah blogging is a public form of reflection which lets you keep track of what you have learned, and discuss it with other people. There are a lot of other uses, but the most important is that you can share your thoughts and feelings and other people can respond. I’ve found it has lots of side-benefits as well, but my primary reason for blogging is to get feedback on my thoughts.
I just saw this graphic on the Learning is Growing blog by Kathy Perret. It is very helpful. I too have saved it in my Diigo folder about blogging. It will encourage our teachers, some of whom are getting into blogging. Thanks for sharing!

If you want to adjust the graphic Gino, I created it in Google Docs. I’d be happy to share the document with you if want it.
