@Darren looking forward to your birthday post so I could write an appropriate comment but looks like it’s not going to happen?

@Lee Thanks

@Britt Thanks and congratulations at achieving the 3 months of blogging. The first few months of blogging are so hard so I’m glad the post on The Edublogger are helping.

@Frank Thanks I saw the tweet and it made me happy. I did enjoy my vacation and post coming soon.

@Jane I’m happy to help other bloggers because I have had so much help and mentoring from people when I started and still get it now. I will be honest — commenting does take a lot of time. But as I said I would rather take my time and leave comments to encourage others than spend a lot of time writing posts.

@Miss W (Sue) – I’ve totally enjoyed working with you Sue and am really impressed with how well you are doing and what you’ve learnt. Larry is brilliant and I also love working closely with him.

@Michele Thanks I owe you so much and I do apprecite all the help and support you have given me and other bloggers.

@Howard Come on we can take it — let see your posts.

@Gabriela Thanks you have given me so much support with all my different sites since I first started out — as you have also done for others.

@gkat (Grace) – thanks for the links to the posts. I’ve dropped past each, read them and left my own comments. They were all excellent articles which I will file away for use on the Edublogger. Hopefully you are using cocomment or co.mment and will see my comments feed through.

@Cammy thanks – how are you going?

@Teaching Sagittarian (Chrissy) – thanks for the birthday wishes. I also feel worn out with the thought of the two blogs until people like Alan Levine or Vicki Davis (Cool Cat Teacher) remind me of how many blogs they have. It was an excellent holiday and I’m still trying to catch up.

@Suzie Thanks for the links. Mobile phones offer so much for education and yet school policies often mean that we can’t use mobile devices with our students. I know in my State the Education Minister wants to ban all mobile devices in schools. The main concerns relate to liability if used inappropriately and chances of students, parents or teachers suing.
@Inpi I’m glad that I’ve helped with your journey. It makes me sad that writing in English as a blogger makes it hard for readers that English isn’t their first language. I really need to check out what widgets I can add to my blog to make it easier to translate the posts. You have written really well so please don’t stress.

@Dave Thanks. While people measure success differently — what I value the most is the sense of community and conversations with others. That for me is more important than any other measure.

@Alex congratulations on your birthday as well — I did drop past to wish you happy birthday. Thanks for your nice words. I’m beginning to think your dad may be the true blogging legend of all of us.
