Sounds fascinating! I do think of course there are many ways to get our stories, real stories, about schools "out there" and blogging is only one of many, but an important one.

Lessons learned, too, from new experiments are good to share.

I hadn't thought about blogging as a means of publishing my department's good news but I think its a great idea. Cheers Sarah Thanks for this post.

Everyone has their own style of writing and reading. For the most part, blogs do tend to put our best foot forward in our educational experiences and practices. The more voices that are "out there" on the Internet, the more chances other educators have of finding and potentially participating with their own edublog. Bob Sprankle created an interesting Diigo group <a href="http://groups.diigo.com/groups/2to1counterbalance" rel="nofollow">2 to 1 Counterbalance</a> in an effort to promote two good educational examples for every bad one in the media. We need more people shouting out the good that is going on in education. I find it fascinating to learn how other schools work. Everyone has their own style of writing and reading.
