Why Blog?
Me? I want to see if all this talk about collaborative learning might lead to perking up the classroom. Maybe there's something to it. If I hadn't checked my Facebook, I wouldn't have known about Andrew Sullivan's Why I Blog in the November Atlantic. New friend Phillip Blanchard, who joined The National here in Abu Dhabi a few months back, had posted a comment about the article on his wall: "Psst. If anyone ever cared, Andrew, they don't anymore." I clicked on the link Phil had provided and added the piece to the class readings. Sullivan contends blogging is evolving into a literary form, a postmodern idiom, an unprecedented interaction between writer and reader. Hmmm. What's more, he says blogging "heralds a golden era for journalism." So who's right? Phil or Andrew?

Blog is another way to share ideas, knowledge, connections with people all over the world. I prefer using blogs than emails because it allows me to share ideas and read other people ideas to compare and see the difference of what they think of a certain problem.
So you have a blog! Tell us more about it.
