I wish I was attending NECC this year because I know I would meet so many more people! I guess it will have to wait another year...<br><br>@Susan<br><br>This is exactly what happened when I came to ISB this year - I already &quot;knew&quot; Justin and Dennis so well through their blogs, it was like walking into a read-made team. Think of the implications for changing jobs a few years down the road! Talk about an easy transition!<br><br>@Christy<br><br>Who doesn\'t love the Muppets? Sometimes I think it\'s amazing that people can be so shortsighted about technology - I love the video \'Introducing the Book\' to remind people that all technology is new at some point. I\'m sure there were great resisters to the phone, and those same type of people know are asking why we send e-mail instead of making a phone call. Ironic...<br><br>@Sarah<br><br>I love &quot;the 21st century equivalent of just \'hanging around\'&quot;! What a perfect description! I have to admit that I never really thought of myself as an &quot;early adopter&quot; but I guess compared to your average computer user, I kind of am...<br><br>@Ken<br><br>&quot;Staying connected like this keeps you engaged enough to care&quot; - that\'s an interesting idea. I definitely think I would like to be this engaged with all of my &quot;old&quot; friends, but I don\'t think being this connected would be enough to get me interested in someone with whom I don\'t already share common interests. So, I totally understand your agony about Facebook friends - and I will continue wishing that more of my &quot;old&quot; friends will make the effort to get connected - because I already care about them!<br><br>@Vance<br><br>Yes! Exactly! &quot;When you finally meet the body, you\'ve already met the mind, which is usually the part you like best.&quot; Love it - perfectly stated.<br><br>@Azrunner<br><br>Love your points about literacy and democracy. I\'m imagining a classroom where these types of communication are embraced - what a supportive community of learners we could create...<br><br>@Jen<br><br>Thanks! I knew you would relate to this post - I think I remember you wrote something similar a while back :)<br><br>Enhanced is a great way to put it - the solid friendship is already there, meeting in person just adds another dimension. I wonder if that dimension is every really necessary though, or is it just nice?" );

I found your post very interesting too - would have loved to have left a comment ;)<br><br>@Susan<br><br>I\'m loving this projects for adults thing! It\'s a whole new ball-game!<br><br>@Linda<br><br>Thank you! I think you\'re probably write about the overworking issue. In fact, right now my brain is on overdrive overworking a post about teacher PD that I probably should just post with some initial thoughts to get feedback. But, of course, I\'m probably going to wait until I\'ve got it all worked out in my head. Arg! Can\'t teach an old dog new tricks, can you?<br><br>@Cindy<br><br>No worries! That\'s why we\'re here! Those tables can be pretty intimidating - especially when you have over 100 people on the list! Looking forward to the conversations!<br><br>@Ken<br><br>So glad to have you aboard the challenge! Phew! The house move was crazy, especially with so many visitors right after we moved. Things are slowing down now and we\'re really enjoying the new place!<br><br>@Angela<br><br>Good to hear that the informal model works for you - if you have a tendency to be like me and you can make it work, maybe I can too! Every once in a while I throw in a quick one, but I think I need to do it more often!<br><br>@Sarah<br><br>Thanks so much! It\'s true, I have a pretty cool job title! I\'m lucky to be working for such a progressive school. I completely agree that blogging and online learning in general has amazing benefits. Having that constantly connected network just makes learning so easy!" );

I keep debating about whether or not to go around and change all the old ones, but it\'s such a hassle. I wish we could just have the picture posted somewhere online and then grab it from the URL - that way the picture could change, just not the URL. Unfortunately all of these tools require a direct upload... Oh well... For now I\'ll have to be the mscofino from 2005 ;)" );
