I had a bowl of Fruit Loops for breakfast….ah wait I’m guessing you might not find that important. When I look at it, I personally feel that the line is drawn where you feel something is common knowledge/where there not much room for debate. If I’m doing something and I feel it is common knowledge then I would not be as likely to blog about it. But if I’m working on something that I’m struggling to understand or working through something in a way that I feel has not be covered before I would be likely to blog about it. One other thing to take into consideration is your audience. I think looking at who your audience is will help guide you.

I know the feeling until last semester I had never blogged before, heck until last semester I only a Facebook page that I occasionally post things on. Oh I guess there was that MySpace thing back when too. But, anyhow yes I use to think the exact same way as you about blogging. I think there are still those kinds of blogs out there, but now people in academia are finding new ways of using these methods for good.

You made an excellent point about who your audience is. When communicating with others it is important to take into consideration what method they are most comfortable with and use that method. I think this is especially important for teaching a course in order to make sure the students receive the best education possible.
