Blogging Buddies

Hi ISTE Blogging Buddies! 
The first step to change is admitting you have a problem, right? Well then, Hello, My name is Jessica and I am a lazy blogger.  

Can you relate? 

I have always loved reading educational blogs.  Some of my best lessons and professional developments have come from reading and implementing ideas found in blogs.  So when I started my blog a few years ago, I thought writing would come naturally.  I had so many ideas to share. Boy was I wrong! 

While at EdCampAtlanta last weekend there was a session on staying motivated as a blogger.  One attendee mentioned ISTE Blogging Buddies.  I looked into it and signed up right then and there! 

Blogging for me is a very personal thing.  I feel like I am letting people see the good, the bad, and the ugly.  I began to feel very venerable which is why I ultimately stopped blogging.   I now realize that the "bad and the ugly" are just as important to explore as"the good".  

So I am writing a new Mission Statement for my blog to help me stay focused.  I found great guidelines for writing a blog mission statement on a blog called CoSchedule. I want to do this right so I'm going to take a few days to get my thoughts organized.  Hopefully, I'll be able to unveil my Blog Mission Statement in my next post.  

Do you have a mission statement for your blog? If not here are a few resources:

Happy Blogging!
