Here is an example of a blog by Dave Truss, a teacher in Canada
He describes himself as, “I am an educator (Vice Principal) in the Lower Mainland of beautiful Vancouver, BC, Canada. Some of my areas of interest include Student Leadership, Numeracy, Social Responsibility, and Integrating Technology into the classroom (using technology for learning rather than just to teach).”
Statement of Educational Philosophy
I wrote this three years ago, but recently had to make a change… As little as one year ago the second paragraph did not exist for me, and now it is placed in a position of importance. I post my Statement of Educational Philosophy now, after reading and posting a comment on Kelly Christopherson’s post, which in turn was inspired by Harold Jarche’s post, which in turn was inspired by Albert Ip’s post, that Harold first read over two years ago… Has this kind of engagement in learning ever happened for you, coming from a text book?I wonder how much of what I have written is ‘universal’ and how much of it is a product of being stuck in the current bureaucratic-age based paradigm?
Feedback, as always, is appreciated. (Think Healthy Discord and feel free to be critical.)

You can see from the introduction above how blogs can act as a way of collaborating with others and developing your own ideas.
