[...] I came across Jeff Utecht’s blog The Thinking Stick. It’s always so exciting when I read stories about teachers successfully using blogs with students in their classrooms. [...]

Jeff, amazing! Congrats on all of your hard work. And Justin tells me that you have a teaching load as well! Your blog and your efforts have been an inspiration. The Warlick visit will only cement your own success. I think they are “getting it” already.

Jeff it is clear that you are a very effective leader. I know how hard it is to motivate change and share a vision. You clearly lead by example but you also have managed to inspire and encourage experimentation and supported the faculty so they succeeded. Kudos to you for your leadership and vision.
You said “We have to use the tool before we understand what it can do for us.” For me this is an important piece of the puzzle and the starting point for all change. Sharing the vision may be important but it is just so many words until we have experience of the tools! Keep up the good work!

Jeff,

FeedBurner offers a tool called Headline Animator that will “Create and customize an animated banner that cycles through your feed’s five most recent items. It’s an easy way to promote your content anywhere you can place a snippet of HTML.” I’m not sure if this is what you are looking for, or if there are other issues that might prevent you from using it, but I just came across it.

[...] Congratulations to Jeff Utecht (The Thinking Stick) on doing such a great job with his blogging project at the Shanghai American School. Personally, I get a great deal of satisfaction when I can get one or two teachers/students to see the benefits of blogging in the classroom and begin their own blogs, but Jeff has, as of this posting, set up and educated over 85 teachers and students. I took the time to look through a handful of the sites, they look great! I’m looking forward to reading some of the posts related to the school’s Tech Fest in February, and hearing more about what David Warlick has to say while he is there. [...]
