It is just too cool that I am now listed on the Weblogg-ed list of educator bloggers! I find that I am easliy excited by such things. I think that building another online community through weblogs will give educators a chance to share pedagogical and theoretical ideas in a way that listservs do not. Why? Because many people do not subscribe to listserv for fear of being overwhelmed with individual (or digested) messages when they don't have time to read them. Blogs give you the chance to look at other people's thoughts when (or if) you get the opportunity. Unread messages in my Inbox make me cold and frightened. I always feel like there is something that I MUST know contained in one of those messages and if I don't read them all I will miss it and something terrible will happen to me. This must be some new kind of documentable phobia.
On a happier note, I had a full house for this week's technology workshop and I heard good things buzzing in the halls afterward. I am sure that the other comments were kept out of earshot, but what I don't know won't hurt me, right?
