Why I Blog

Back to Blogs

I primarily blog for selfish purposes. Blogging helps me to refine my thoughts (In this case about blogging itself). I usually write a post after I have been involved in a project or event. Writing helps me to reflect upon the experience, and sometimes it  also actually helps to i refine the design of later events.

I also may want to showcase a student activity. The school has an assortment of social media that can be used to share all the many things that may be happening throughout the community, but I can take a deeper dive. In such cases I can also cross-post to our I.T. Blog.

Blogging here and at the school IT page is an exercise in transparency, but it also  sets the bar higher for me, when I write about ideas that have hatched or events in progress.  

I think this is even more important for Larry Baker the administrator to blog than Larry Baker the teacher.  As Lucy Grey has pointed out, my blogging has served as a means for documenting our school's technology innovations over five years.

As my readership grows, the blog allows me to extend whatever educational leadership I have to offer beyond Mercy and the university course I teach. I've always enjoyed writing and this blog gives me a nice reason to do so.
