What did I learn this week?

I am a pretty techie kind of guy. I have built websites for personal use and professional use. I have two you tube pages also set up for personal and professional. I use Yahoo messenger, Facebook, Myspace, Twitter and any other social site that happens to catch my attention.
I have never blogged though.
Ok, technically Twitter is microblogging but I really don’t count that as blogging.
So here I am now, blogging for a class. I resisted this assignment as long as I could last week. I’m not sure exactly why. I just never thought of myself as a blogger. I read several blogs but the idea of writing my thoughts out for the world to read just never occurred to me to be interesting for anyone else.
So, the point of all this? Well, for that you have to go back to the title of this blog. “What did I learn this week?”
I learned that I actually like blogging.
I didn’t realize until today when I started to write this blog out that I really enjoy blogging. I have been thinking about what I would write today all week. Most of my thoughts this week have been devoted to what to write here that would possibly interest the world at large. I realized as soon as I started typing though that the world at large isn’t my audience. I am my own audience. My blog is a place for me to gather my thoughts on a semi-weekly basis for what I have learned in my courses and to keep myself on track as I work on my action research.
I learned a great deal of other things this week. I picked up new information on different action research project that are often done in school settings. But the lessons I learned are two things.
1. I like blogging
2. My audience is me.
I firmly believe that as long as I keep those two lessons in mind I will  keep this blog going for a long time to come.
