When I think about the edubloggers that I most look forward to reading every day, their posts are very high in this ratio:

essentialblogratio01

essentialblogratio02

This is just another way of reframing the old adage that you need to be interesting if you want readers, but I kind of like it.

and, before they stopped:

  • Christian Long
  • Jennifer Jennings (eduwonkette)
  • Kilian Betlach

How about you? Who do you think has a high dopamine:yawn ratio?
