    Kathy-thanks so much for the encouragement and kind words. I am so proud of the blog and the conversations and learning that it has lead me too. I hope that it encourages other educators to share their voice and passion with their students and one another!

    Hi Angela, I have found over the last year my learning has accelerated thanks to involvement in a PLN on Twitter [mrw00dy], which has increased the feedback I get on my class blog also.
    Together we do indeed achieve more! :-)
    Thanks for all your insights and resources.
