I just can't imagine not wanting feedback on my ideas and lessons, but perhaps that is just my willingness to reflect and write coming through. I really want this idea to be applicable to as many people as possible, so I think that this may be a point to explore further. How do we get this "need" to come to the forefront. I think that perhaps Yahoo Teachers has a good idea going in merely sharing resources, rather than getting bogged down in all of the other social network things that Classroom 2.0 has to offer. Is this a good starting point, or can we simply assume that this need will happen if we produce the right situations for teachers? Kern:

With few exceptions most of the staff I work with do not have a "need to be heard by others" I'm not saying that it's a good thing, I'm just wondering how to get those who most need to be in this conversation, here.

I think that the jump between these two disciplines needs more exploration. I hope you will join me thinking about how to get more would-be advocates for change to make that transition. Page:

This idea of "connection" that you describe in this post is exactly why I began to blog. It took me a while to realize the true difference between reading other blogs (and commenting occasionally) and actually writing my own posts. You did a nice job summarizing it here. I am eager to keep up the conversation. thanks. Ben – Thanks for the blog mention. This idea of “connection” that you describe in this post is exactly why I began to blog.
