Accountability
“...there is no word for "accountability" in
Finnish.”
“Accountability is what's left when you take out responsibility.”

“...there is no word for "accountability" in

“I wish we could stop using the word
"accountable" and instead talk about
"responsible". It would make all the difference.”

“If we create cultures of trust and sharing,
accountability is built in, not contrived or imposed,
it just is.”

After 2005
But blogging was the cheapest, most risk-free investment I could have made of my personal time into my job. You start by writing down things that are interesting to you, practices you don’t want to forget. And then you start trying new things just so you can blog about them later, picking them apart,
and dialoging over them with strangers. Periods of stagnancy in your blogging start to correspond to periods of stagnancy in your teaching. You start to muse on your job when you’re stuck in traffic, in line for groceries, that sort
of thing. That transformation has been nothing but good for me and it all began on a free Blogspot blog.

Speaking personally, I realized one day that without intending to I had developed a critical community around my blog, a group of people who were willing to save me from my own lousy classroom design choices. They got better at giving criticism and I got better at receiving it. I also got better at posting the kind of rich, multimedia artifacts of classroom practice — photos, videos, handouts, etc. — that facilitated that criticism. I started to plan lessons while wondering at the same time, "What about this is gonna be worth sharing?" Lesson planning and blogging became hopelessly and wonderfully tangled up. Dan Meyer
