Blogs Embedded

Filed under: musing — Candace Hackett Shively @ 9:59 am

Jeff Utecht writes about teachers and students blogging as an integral part of who they are and what they do, not as an add-on. This promotes reflection, communication, and openness, among other things.

I wonder: what if other professions did this, too? Let your imagination run with this one.

  • The president blogs on policies he/she is considering. Is this blog public?
  • The apartment manager uses a blog to communicate about building issues and reflect on repairs?
  • The CEO blogs on issues facing the company and encourages employee comments on ways to solve them?
  • YOUR boss blogs on ..on what?
  • The contractor blogs on how to build a truss that spans a 30-foot room?

Does every level of profession and avocation blog? Is it only the people “in charge” and the “creative ones”?

What were generations doing before that can be replaced by a blog? If we do build a generation of bloggers, what will these kids grow up to do with their blogs?

I REALLY need to get back to several other tasks now.
