Ask the question: "How are blogs used in society?" and you can come up with numerous possibilities. In my attempt to discover blogs by health educators specifically, i came across blogs concerning everything you might need as an educator.
Blogs are a way to put your opinions out there, to put information in the hands of others and just a way to openly communicate to whoever is willing and wanting to read. And even outside of education people write about whatever they feel like. They can use blogging as a platform or merely for an outlet. Some people just need to feel like they are heard. Today society is all about getting it all out there. Instant information=instant gratification, and blogging is definitely a tool in fulfilling today's needs.
Back to the use in education though! I found a few blogs and blog related resources that deliver links to blogs that are specifically related to your content area. I searched for a very long time, and still struggled to find any kind of blogs by or for high school health educators specifically. I'm not losing hope though, i think having this kind of communication with other teachers who are experienced in my content area would be an amazing tool and resource for the future! Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Hope these help someone out there! If you find any blogs to follow specifically for or by high school health educators definitely let me know!! :)
