NEA to get in the blog game
A couple of months ago, I cornered Reg Weaver, president of the National Education Association and asked him when the NEA was going to start its own blog?
Today I got the answer, and it’s good news for those who have been dying for a venue for conversation about the nation’s largest teachers union.
This has been a much-discussed issue among education bloggers, led by The Education Wonks, who months ago began asking when NEA would follow the lead of the UFT, New York’s teachers’ union which has a very good blog, and the American Federation of Teachers, which runs a blog about No Child Left Behind.
But here at the Education Writers Association conference, I learned NEA Today, the union’s magazine, is working on launching a blog, to be authored by its staff writers. And the plan is for the blog to be comment-enabled, although it may not be at first. So keep an eye on that site over the next month or two.
