Your use of the phrase "rip and remix" is very appropriate. I think that really reflects what is going on here in these 'virtual conversations,' and it reflects a learning that is <a href="http://jamesmatthew.wordpress.com/2005/10/28/learning-as-a-multi-layered-thing/" rel="nofollow"> multi-layered </a>... very cool verbage. I will definitly be watching your blog for the continued evolution. Jo's comments: "It’s amazing what happens when the kids ‘catch on’ and start blogging for themselves and not just for the teacher..." Yes! Learning that takes place without the 'overlord' of a teacher...this is great! It is the sign of independent knowledge seeking (vs. dependent knowledge feeding)...This excites me about ed blogging! thanks for the post! Graham,

I know what you say is true: that comments are the 'glue' that holds the edublogging community together in a way. But... even when people don't ,they're still reading. I also do appreciate your support of my blogging. I have been blogging with two of my classes this semester, and I know I want to have it as a part of more of my classes next year. It's amazing what happens when the kids 'catch on' and start blogging for themselves and not just for the teacher. and even more amazing when they start making connections for themselves. Then they are learning without knowing that they're learning. Jo Graham, I really do enjoy reading your blog.
