Dave,

A great video. I saw it a couple of weeks ago and bookmarked it to show to other teachers.

My neighbourhood is growing and it is wonderful… thanks for the comments and the links!

Silvana,

Don’t force a blog, but you’ve commented here a few times now, and I’ve seen your comments elsewhere, so I know that what you have to say will earn you an audience.

Perhaps just get involved with Classroom2.0 on Ning and contribute a blog post or two there to start. A couple months of rich conversation there would tell you if a blog will work for you… and if it doesn’t, you’ll still generate an online network!

Awesome is an overworked adjective….so I won’t use it here…I enjoyed the post it is interesting and at the same time unsettling, maybe because it has made me realise that I deliberately choose not to have a personal blog so I don’t generate an online network …the reason….I am not sure of yet….maybe its too time consuming….maybe what it offers does not replace the time it steals from me….maybe I don’t want to be part of a shadowy world but want to exsist in real time….maybe maybe maybe maybe…yesterday I never even questioned why I don’t ……today I want to know why I shouldn’t…….grrrrrrr

Let me close with a question a 6 year old asked me in reading club “will cyber space ever get full ?” Surely the laws of physics demand that eventually if you keep putting stuff in things reach their limit? I told him to google it…..(eek)

Thanks Dave
