After reading your post I reflected back on the different ways I utilized my blog with my students last year vs. this year. This year I am reading and commenting on other blogs and dots are popping up on our Cluster Map! Once the students saw that people in New Zealand, Switzerland, and even exotic Kansas were reading their blog, their writing improved and they started taking this form of communication much more seriously.

Happy B-day to the Stick! I'm new to Web2.0 and blogging, so I really 'felt your pain' with regard to comments...but that's okay. I'm making incredible connections with educators all over the globe and I am learning volumes!! I'm looking forward to the day when my 3-month little blog turns 3 years! Thank you for all your contributions and I value what I learn from you. All my best, Estie It’s such a joy to read your blog! Happy B-day to the Stick!

I guess I should say Happy Birthday to The Stick. I was sorry I didn't get to see you when you were at the 2.0 conference,but I did get to see your wife and she is better looking then you. Your Blog and passion for technology integration has really inspired me and the blogs seem to be working better this year. I really do think that they are an awesome tool for our students. I wondered if you had any ideas or hints for me. I am trying to get my students to think of their blog as a place for them to create a learning environment. I want it to end up being their parent/student conference. It slow work but hopefully I am getting through. What I wondered is if you could help with giving me some hints on getting them: 1.Linking their blog posts to others. Also Linking to articles on the net, youtube videos,etc. 2. Giving meaningful comments. 3. If you know of any blog posts that talk about the purpose of blogging and how to be successful at it? Thanks. Hi Jeff. I guess I should say Happy Birthday to The Stick.
