Hi Muriel .... nice to see you here. Yes, you are indeed following me on Twitter ... I just sent you a request to allow me to follow you since your updates are set to private (which may be good to start on twitter). See you in class .. Frank

Frank,
We may have different tastes in e-readers maybe but I'm with you on the oboe and cello. And am also drawn to music-making

Am also with you on the smoking thing. My mom died of lung cancer at age 44.

Was touched by your foster-home early days and being so violently wrenched from a good life. Obviously that grounding meant everything and am glad you have the memories of that.

Hello Frank! Although I'm still getting used to your new site, I like what I see. I look forward to seeing how it develops! By the way, I love blogging as my wife tries on new clothes in the fitting room. "Shopping" now holds new meaning!

Hi Frank,

Just saw your intro post on IATEFL forum (back to see more the vids) - I run a NING community of Bloggers in ELT. It's a private community of teachers who are also blogging. If you'd like to join us (we're about 25 globally) don't hesitate to email me so I can send you an invitation.

Take care,
Karenne

I really love what you are doing on your blog. It is very insightful and I love how you are integrating the use of technology tools. I am a 5th grade English teacher and I am always looking for innovative ways to teach grammar using my blog and wiki. I have found some great ideas here. Thanks!

I, too, love your graphic :-) Thanks for sharing it! I've just used it in a post on the ManACE Memos blog - http://www.manace.ca/blog - to spread the word about an upcoming session called 'Getting Connected' that John Evans and I are hosting.

Frank,

Thanks you for this. So simple yet so profound. Every journey begins with a single step. Thank you for sharing.

I saw your digram on this huge list of 'PLE' diagrams: http://edtechpost.wikispaces.c...

Some of them were so overwhelming that yours stood out to me as simple, succint, and completely accurate. Great interpretation!

This graphic is great; I'm new to twitter, trying to grow my PLN most via RSS feeds, definitely a lurker at this point; it is intimidating to read the posts of the "heavy weights" in education; I'm a media specialist in a small city trying to help other teachers "get on board" the tech learning train; getting my MA in ed tech has been an eye-opener for me on all that is available (mostly free), just need to know where to look; thanks to you and those on your blogroll that keep sharing with the rest of us - really appreciate it!

Frank, thank you for the excellent KIS reminder! Youi sparked a thought to always keep in mind that many of us tend to forget as we work in the global learning community. I too will ise it with attribution as a way to keep my mind in a KIS focus.

I'm going to be watching for those videos and I'm a lot of nonthings, also!

I'm especially touched by the story of your youth. I have to wonder what that must have been like for your foster parents. Although they did something wrong, they obviously had loved you for 7 years and it must have been devastating to lose you. Your story would make an interesting book in perspectives.

Mary Rearick — Sat, 17 Jan 2009 16:05:35 -0000

This is a wonderful blog. When I joined CCK08, the Connectivism course, I wondered if there was a group of educators who were interested in networking around issues related to K12 education. It looks like you have done a great job connecting with bloggers who share a passion for learning and a zeal for life.

Liz, thanks a bunch ... the feeling is mutual. Would be a real treat and honor for you to use my graphic as you please.

:) Frank

Cathy Wolinsky — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 20:10:34 -0000

Saw Liz's comment on twitter. The graphic does a great job of turning a scary social networking session into one item for conversation and reflection. Thanks!

Frank,
This is an awesome graphic. I absolutely love it. It is so simple and so clear. Thanks for sharing it. I will definitely pass it on and use it (with attribution of course) in future workshops. Love it! Love it! Love it! Thanks for being a part of my PLN.

Thanks for sharing, I learned a lot about you! I also don't smoke. I tell people I live in the land of "no smoking" very few smoke here in Colorado.

Hello Frank from Sunny Melbourne, Australia . I was moved by your 7 things,particularly your third one about your foster family. You are a credit to them. I am relatively new to blogging http://www.tlpsart.edublogs.or... and I'm only just making tentative steps into Twitter, Classroom 2.0 etc during my summer break.Everyone I have met so far is all about sharing and cooperation and I'm hoping we can get more of that happening in my school in 2009.I'd like to follow you.
Cheers,
Yvonne Osborn

Great job. I have a favor to ask. I need assistance with a project I am working on with students (9th gr Physical Science). Please email me.

Fascinating! The kidnapping part resonates - I teach in a low-income school, and it feels like we're always working with someone's restraining order or changed name. Glad to see you turned out to be a stable adult despite the trauma!
