I think you have a very conversational and welcoming tone, and I have to say that I thought that even before I watched your video posts.<br><br>I came across your blog through the Comment Challenge, but rather than just click-through I\'ve stayed and added it to my RSS Reader. One of the reasons for doing so is because you are an academic. <br><br>I need to hear a variety of voices - academics, young teachers, experienced teachers, administrators, consultants... I expect different things from each group. There are times when I want posts that may sound more like lectures than reflections. I don\'t necessarily want you to draw me into the conversation by asking questions about the role of technology in the creative arts. I want to hear your expert opinions on the subject. I\'m not shy; if I have a question or comment I\'ll jump in.
