    "Blogging: When it works and when it doesn't" http://bit.ly/9UCzfR Not the only 2 perspectives, but still makes a valuable point.

    Thank you for sharing (creating?) this great graphic. It does a fantastic job of conveying a point I discuss often with innovative educators who decide that “all their students will have blogs.” No! Blogging can’t be forced upon someone. It comes from passion, inspiration, knowing a message that you want to share…not a message your teacher is making you write about.

    What I advise instead, is that educators help students find blogs, newspapers, magazines, etc. that cover topics they are passionate about. Read them. Get ideas. Form opinions. Comment. Maybe submit a guest post to a real “not contrived” audience. Join the web 2.0 conversation and develop your eyes, ears, and voice.

    If a student wants to start a blog, great, but if you mandate it, you take away the inspiration necessary to make it succeed and leave your students “muttering darkly about is it worth it all.”

    Hey Lisa, thanks for commenting! I certainly did create that graphic – it was actually meant to refer to invidual posts by an individual blogger (ie when it works for me, and when I force it) but it could be interpreted as you have done, applying to blogging per se. I like it.

    I’m a great advocate of blogging for people in my field (Information Professional / Librarianship) as a way to connect with a community and get a feel for the wider profession’s goings on. But as you say, it can’t be forced on anyone and shouldn’t be. People have to find the medium of expression that works for them.

    (Feel free to use the graphic, with attribution, should you ever wish to! :) )

    @theREALwikiman Funny how that happens, isn’t it. Sometimes audience needs help finding what’s out there.
