This week's assignment is to "Explore several examples of how some teachers and students are using blogs to enhance learning." Many of the readings feature people I interact with daily on Twitter. We are expected to discuss how blogs can extend and expand learning, and I've already peppered my comments with references to the outstanding projects being conducted in schools all over the world. Thanks for reminding me that I should also actively promote the social/collaborative benefits of blogs, Twitter, and similar tools. We are a learning community, we are a family. Best wishes to you and Eun Jeong! diane <em>diane's last blog post..<a href='http://dmcordell.blogspot.com/2008/03/way-of-progress.html' rel="nofollow">The Way of Progress</a></em> I’m presently taking an online course through our local BOCES.

It was really fun to be able to attend your wedding in my PJs. I like what Dean Shareski said on the VT... we should be able to attend more of them like this. Though, I would miss the dancing and drinking that we, in the midwest U.S. make a big part of the wedding. It was a beautiful ceremony! I'll have to check Frank's blog, since, I too saved a copy of the chat -- want to be sure you both have a copy of all the "well wishes" you deserve. And, while I will not be blogging it, I'll toss it into a Google doc and invite you! How cool it is be able to "sit and listen in" with this "global" table of guests. One more thing, on the topic of gratitude, here's a new word for you: eudaemonia Read more: http://gratitude.edublogs.org/2007/10/14/eudaemonia-happiness-from-the-action-of-gratitude/ Cheers from Illinois!! <em>Charlene's last blog post..<a href='http://educatingeducators.blogspot.com/2008/02/passion-what-is-most-beautiful-and.html' rel="nofollow">Passion: What is most beautiful and sacred to you?</a></em> Hi Clay,
