I have been following your blog and podcasts for about a year. This summer I am time- and place-shifting your archived podcasts. I have downloaded all your podcasts from the beginning and am listening to them while I work outside in the yard and in the garden during summer vacation. I have learned the definition of disruptive technology and that Alexander made your podcast music when was in 2nd grade (how cool it that!) Now I can get all kinds of professional development while mow the lawn and battle weeds in the garden. Thanks for your inspiring insights! Wes,

I've renamed my blog to hopefully reflect a wider possibility of topics as well as more frequent posting, though my last one is still from February. I'm getting ready to take a new job, and I hope to document thoughts and ideas from those experiences as well as whatever else strikes me as relevant, important, interesting, or discussion worthy. But I realize from one of your statements here that part of the reason for doing a blog isn't necessarily in hopes of response from others, though that is always welcome. I agree that blogging can become a way to process - I guess kind of a thinking out loud online. I truly think (and hope) we are in the beginning stages of, dare I say, revolutionary ways of doing things in education, and we need to discuss and debate and agree and disagree as we COLLABORATIVELY make our way through the ever emerging, constantly changing digital world. Like the acronym I've seen on sports team shirts: Together Everyone Achieves More Thanks for all you do and write!

Whether or not you stick with it, I'm sure you'll learn a great deal from the activity, and you just might get hooked! :-) Dean: I’m so glad to hear you’ve started a blog!

Reading this post reminded me of a frustration I'm having with Wordpress: It will wipe away all your paragraph breaks! I hope it can be made to work better before I try to use it with my students!
