Ideating

Sometimes, I feel like there’s too much “ideating” going on within the edublogosphere, and now I’m just another unnecessary ideator. Other times, I think blogging is “doing;” I’m getting my ideas out there. I’m being a public intellectual (that’s informally part of my job description).
What do you think?
To me, the most frustrating component of the “edusphere” is how heavily slanted it is towards policy-makers, professors, and teachers. This may seem like a balanced group to the average reader. I find curriculum directors, IT directors, superintendents, board members, and vendors to be disproportionately under-represented in the edusphere compared to the “real world.”
