The Lone Blogger In the Room

Over the weekend, I attended a leadership seminar for school administrators.  One of the speakers spoke to us about tech integration and asked how many people in the room were bloggers.  I raised my hand, looked around, and realized (gulp) that I was the only one with a hand raised.  I didn't know whether to feel proud or foolish.  After much thought, I've decided to go for pride.

I think blogging has allowed me to become more reflective.  It has given me a venue to share my ideas, and it has helped me to grow professionally.  When I go to write a blog, I know that whatever I write is going to be out there for my co-workers, parents, and the world to read.  So if I'm going to write it, I better live it too.

I'm hoping that some of the other administrators that were in the room this weekend will join me in the blogging process.  It reminded me of a video I saw at last year's seminar about how leadership really happens when the second follower joins in and acts as the spark.  Check out the video below.  Will you be that spark?
