Reading blogs regularly is the best way to keep yourself updated to enrich your knowledge domain. And reading blogs is especially important for you if you are an educator to know what peers in the community are practicing.
Because you are the one who can help your school kids to meet the digital age needs, the more you are informed, more you can contribute.
