And then it hit me - you must have been in the other section of the U. of Alberta's EDES 501! I'm so glad to have found you since I know that if your section was anything like my section, there's lots of great information about using Web 2.0 in schools and libraries. I can't wait to get reading! Like you I'm trying to continue my blogging at the end of the course so I appreciate all the blogging tips you've listed. I am currently trying to find a more suitable name for my blog because I want to be able to expand my topics much like you've mentioned in your post. Developing a mission statement for my blog sounds like the best way to go. Thanks for suggesting it! Jo-Anne p.s.

You have a lot of great things that will move your blog forward. I think it is also to remember the importance of keeping balance. I have told my family that I often have to remember that I am a human who blogs not a blogger who humans. The times I've been happiest with myself and my blog are when I relax and just blog as I want to and not stress out too much over it. These consistent habits, however, will help you do and be more!

What a thoughtful and generous way to conclude your final assignment for this course...I hope you find a way to share your enthusiasm and energy about web 2.0 (even if it isn't about YouTube!) with your former colleagues. I look forward to reading more about your adventures in web 2.0 in the weeks ahead! Thanks, Cynthia….I’m glad to hear I wasn’t the only one with tears in my eyes by the end of your post.

Thanks for summing up what we all contributed to your learning. I know that I will definitely be coming back to everyone's blog for information and resources. I just wanted to let you know that I also will not be in EDES 545 next semester (no prep block = no time). Hopefully, I will 'see' you in EDES 545 next September. Hi Cynthia,

You've truly articulated the tremendous accomplishment we've all made. I still can't believe I made it! I gasped when I found out we won't be studying together next semester, but love that you'll be blogging and that we can stay connected through the blogosphere.

I really like the notion of professional learning, rather than professional development. You have listed some very reasonable and exciting ideas for promoting this kind of professional learning in any school! Thanks, Cynthia.

I couldn't agree with you more about the dangers of 'top down' pro-d. Our school is moving more toward a model of 'find the experts right here in your building', which has been quite effective. I will definitely be coming back to your blog when building my grassroots case for Web 2.0 tools in our school. Thanks! Selena Hi Cynthia,
