Visitors

On Jon Becker's blog there is a debate (not particularly passionating) that made me think.

Why this blog? I don't exactly know.

First of all, the desire to experiment something new and to sample its possibilities.
Then, I think, the chance of expressing myself, independently on the audience.
Maybe also the hope of getting in touch with people I have experiences in common with without directly knowing them

But then I rediscovered, and probably the value of this discovery is greater today for me than the other three motivations, that to communicate something you need to have it clear in your mind, or at least to have some clear good questions about it.
I think this is the true value of this blog for me, beyond the fact that someone might read and find it useful, or even respond and join a conversation.
Everything more than my clearer understanding of what I write about is a surprise gift.

An educational bloggers' directory

Translation of post "Una rubrica di siti educativi" of March 22nd 2008 on "Il deserto dei tartari 2.0".



Patricia Donaghy, author of a very interesting blog where she shows useful tools for the educational web 2.0, wrote to me about an educational blog directory.

Of course I joined Edubloggerdir with the first Italian blog, Il deserto dei tartari 2.0.

I am working a lot these days trying to find as much information as possible and blog it here. It is always true that rearranging my ideas on my own is always a good practice, but two heads work better than one, so... let's get networked!
