5 A journey to find my own voice

Dear Colleagues,
Welcome to my first post...
To be honest, I've never thought that creating a blog is such an easy step. However, trying to write something worth in my blog was not as easy as I assumed. The main problem I encountered was how to begin writing my personal blog? After sitting in front of the computer and brainstorming for hours, I found, to my surprise, that writing about my blog was a great pleasure...
In my opinion, the main question to be asked here is "How will I and my students benefit from blogging?"
At the very beginning many ideas started to form in my mind. For instance, teachers can store videos, podcasts, music and other multimedia files so that the students can use them in the process of learning English. Therefore, learning might occur as a natural process.
As a second idea, this blog might function as a kind of dialogue journal which might help to establish a communicative environment in the classroom. Besides, it can provide an opportunity for my students to use authentic language through interactions with the teacher.
However, one thing I am sure is that this blog will teach me to reflect my learning experiences as well as share good practice with you.
I would be willing to continue to write my blog where time will allow; however, for the time being I should stop writing and continue reading about blogging for ELT.

Please feel free to write to me! I'll be happy to hear from you (suggestions/feedback welcome!)
