I am a faculty member with the University of Phoenix doing a collaborative research project on how social media can improve online teaching. I noticed on one of your blogs you mentioned a survey had been done by twitter. Could you share that information with me, and any additional articles that might help with our research? Kind Regards, Amy Adolph Hello,

I thoroughly enjoyed your post about the Christmas season. I know it is now March, but it is nice to be reminded of Christmas. The "lessons learned" from your mom were so sweet. I agree with every single lesson! I think it is also important to remind our children that Christmas is a time to give and not just a time to get. Sometimes that means giving monetarily, but more importantly giving of your time and talents to others. Your post also reminded me of my mother. She is a huge fan of <b>Celtic Woman</b> and has even been to one of their concerts. What a beautiful song! Thank you for sharing your wonderful thoughts and memories. I hope that your faith may be renewed through the spirit of this song. Blessings to you and yours!<br/> Best wishes in all you do! Heather Weaver EDM 310 University of South Alabama Hello again!

I enjoyed reading your blog post about your mom. The picture is fantastic! I can't believe she had that many seven year olds in her class and looked so calm. I do not come from a family of teachers, in fact quite the opposite. I am the only "professional" teacher in my family. I do, however, come from a long line of both women and men who taught me so much about life and our world. Respect has always been at the top of that list. To be respected in my home, community, and workplace is very important to me. I understand why you value that so much. <br/> I will be including a summary of my post from visiting your blog on my blog, <a href="http://www.weaverheatheredm310.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Heather Weaver's EDM 310 Class Blog</a>, on 03/09/12. I have enjoyed reading your blog and learning more about your mission as a teacher. Best wishes to you! Hello Dragonsinger,

I read this sweet post about your mom and couldn't help but smile for you. It sounds like your mother was an incredible woman who taught you many great life lessons. I'm sure you hold those memories close to your heart and I hope you always do. Merry (belated) Christmas! Lacie Jo,

I am currently enrolled in Dr. Strange's EDM310 class. I think educamps are a fantastic idea. I think that being able to sit around with teachers you are not used to being around and sharing your ideas would be of great value. When you have small discussions you benefit more than sitting in front of one person lecturing to you. I was not aware of conferences like this. I hope to one day be able to attend an educamp!

My parents are both teachers, and what kind of student would I be if I didn't give them the acknowledgement they deserve. My mom and I tend to mirror each other when it comes to favorite subjects to study. We both enjoy English and writing. She has taught me many different ways to write creatively as well as enjoy reading. I agree with you, I hope I can be as great as a teacher my mother (and also yours!) was and has been.

I feel like the "everyday" classroom can be very boring for the students and even the teacher. I am currently going to school to become a secondary education teacher and I strongly believe that the student's shouldn't be the only ones learning. I feel like the teachers need to be learning along with the students. Collaborating the classrooms seems like it would really help the teachers grow and learn, along with benefiting the students as well. I hope one day to be able to incorporate different classrooms into my own. Maybe even classrooms from around the world! I love the idea of collaborating classrooms.

Can't wait to hear how it all goes. Loving the idea of collaborating with distant classrooms especially with routine based stuff as opposed to special projects. Can’t wait to hear how it all goes.

I am currently enrolled in EDM310 in Dr. Strange's class. I think it is great that they have things like educamps for teachers and administrators to attend. It is so important to keep in touch with other educators to share ideas about what is working and not working in their own classrooms. I had no idea that they have camps for teachers to attend. I hope that one day I can go to an educamp one day. Thank you! Jessica Walker My name is Jessica Walker and I am a student at the University of South Alabama.
