One of the wonderful qualities of the blogosphere is the number of different ways we are valuable to each other. Some bloggers give us great links to resources we find useful. Some embed delightful YouTube videos in their blog posts. Some get long series of comments that take the original post into fascinating, expanded territories. Others are especially good at getting me to think, which I love to do. Some are also inspirations for what I'm writing here.Today is Blog Day 2008. I found that out just now because I got mentioned as one of the five on the blog: Maiers Educational Services. Thanks Angela! In keeping with her theme: Together We Are Smarter, I'm celebrating five bloggers who contributed to the launch of different themes I've explored this year.
- Steve Roesler (All Things Workplace) did a wonderful series on talent development which gave rise to my posts tagged: hidden talents.
- Pete Reilly's revelations (Ed Tech Journeys)about failed educational reforms inspired my series: pro-learning ecologies.
- Angela Maiers (Maiers Educational Services) fascination with the new book Brain Rules spawned the posts I wrote on use your brain.
- Lars Hyland's (Lars is Learning) comment on this blog provoked me to write a string of posts on actionable content
- Joseph Leary's (Regret is for Smart People) cry for freedom and meaning inspired my current series on finding freedom.
Blog Day 2008
Hi, Tom,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind mention. Have been so immersed in client engagements and travel during the past week that I'm just getting caught up.
Here's to a relaxing weekend!
Hi Steve
ReplyDeleteKudos on getting so busy and getting to use your bounty of insights in client engagements.
I hope your weekend is "labor-free" as well :-)
