Find your niche

11/10/2014

As it is often the case when you come back from a conference, my head is spinning : it’s full of ideas!  I just spent three days at the ECOO conference in Niagara Falls.  Good ideas, excellent resources and, of course, incredible networking!

What do I take back from ECOO?

And much more … just look up this hashtag #bit14!

But, one of the riches moment of the ECOO conference for me : finding my blogging niche … well, I think I found it!  You know what a niche is?  In the spring, I ventured into the blogging world.  I didn’t know exactly what to write about, but I knew I had to write ... at least that’s what I read in many different blogs about blogging!  So blogging, here I come!  Since then, I have written many different blog posts, but I feel I have not found my niche.  I know what I don’t want my blog to be : I don’t want my blog to be a list of tools.  Yes, I can, and I do, from time to time, propose the use of certain tools, but I didn’t want technological tools to be the focus of my blog.  Until now, I believe my passion for continuous learning and the learning I have experienced with my children have been the biggest source of inspiration for my blog posts.  But again, I find/found that I did not find my niche.  At the ECOO conference, listening to one of the keynote speakers,  eurêka! ... I think! … 

In one of his workshops, DJ Cunningham, who has a very interesting life story to share, mentioned many times the connection made on an emotional level with his Grade 9 English teacher.  Then, in the conference closing keynote, George Couros, whose blog was a big influence in the push to start my own blog, talked about the importance of the connection to the heart.

There it is! I think I have found my spark, the element that comes back again and again in my writing : engagement.  But trying to link all the reflections I made during and in the aftermath of ECOO, I believe, … I think! … my niche is not any engagement, but engagement via that emotional connection, “the connection to the heart!”

But, I am wondering … How can we make this connection within the framework of the educational system in which we work.  My head is spinning ... I am still … I am always … in deep reflection!  I will get back to you about the discovery of my niche!  For now, I can say that I found my passion (I just read this article last week, but I use the blogger perspective while reading it!)! At least, one of my passions!!! 

What’s your passion?
