Why am I doing this? What could I possibly add to the world of blogging? Why would anyone want to even remotely know what goes on inside my head? These and many more are/were some of the thoughts in my mind prior to going to the Learning 2.0 Conference in Shanghai, China this past weekend (Sept. 14-16). However, upon my return, I am now seeing more and more why this is important and fun?? work. As a leader in education at a large international school in Bangkok, I want to tap into the world of blogging for a number of reasons: sharing my experiences with other int’l school leaders, tapping into others’ ideas and suggestions, but most importantly being savvy about why people blog so that I can “keep up” (is that possible?) with my kids when they start blogging.
Out of all this is born “The Struth”. Good luck and god speed!

Hi, this is a comment from Dennis!
Welcome, Struan…looking forward to seeing what you have to say.
It can be addicting…my other suggestion…start commenting on other blogs you read. It’s a way to get your own thinking going and the best way I’ve found to build your online community.
It also gets your name out there and provides ways for people to find their way back to you.

Struan, I love your blog name, Struth! Very cool! I’ve decided to begin my blogging with writing one for friends and family so I can learn the ins and outs and kind of “try it out” on loved ones first, while at the same time getting on edu-blogs and responding and following them. That’s the plan!
