What’s RIGHT with the edublogosphere?

Continuing the conversation from yesterday when I asked “What’s WRONG with the edublogosphere?“, today I invite you to share what you think is RIGHT in our not-so-little edublogger world.

What’s right with edublogging?
(or, if you like, What’s right with the edublogosphere?)

Please share your thoughts, either in the comments area or as a post on your own blog (leave us a link in the comments area, though!). As Darren Rowse notes, this is a great opportunity to deconstruct the medium. Share whatever you want as long as it is positive. If you’ve got something negative to say about the edublogosphere, see the post from yesterday.

I’m looking forward to seeing your thoughts!

Business

Want true success? Be more philosophical about “good” and “bad” failure.

Bob Dylan gave us the paradoxical gem "there's no success like failure, and failure's no success at all." He had a point.

Starts With A Bang

The idea that matter is mostly empty space is mostly wrong

Practically all of the matter we see and interact with is made of atoms, which are mostly empty space. Then why is reality so... solid?

What’s WRONG with the edublogosphere?

Darren Rowse had a brilliant idea to ask, “What’s wrong with blogging?” I think we should ask this about the edublogosphere as well. So… What’s wrong with edublogging? (or, if […]
