The going to #ISTE2014 road trip has ended. There will be a return trip as well, but going home is less interesting.
My tech news of the day is the downsizing of the NY Times blog presence. Nearly half of existing blogs are to be cut or integrated.
This made me think about education blogs. To my knowledge there would be no way to get actual stats, but it does seem there is less activity. For example, consider what you have read recently from some you may have regarded as pioneers of educational blogs. Folks who will likely be in attendance at ISTE and who made their reputations by writing about the value of blogging either by blogging or even as book authors. I have these blogs in my RSS reader and they are mostly inactive.
What has happened? Is the format dead and folks have moved on to other formats? What formats? Have the original bloggers decided blogs are too much work or not lucrative enought now that they have an audience? Has the audience declined? Has 140 characters become the limit of our attentions spans?
Beats me.
