Comments on: Just Thinking http://kpericles.edublogs.org/2007/08/26/just-thinking/ Another excellent Edublogs.org blog Tue, 10 Nov 2009 04:27:07 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.2 hourly 1 By: Kim http://kpericles.edublogs.org/2007/08/26/just-thinking/comment-page-1/#comment-45 Kim Tue, 28 Aug 2007 11:03:08 +0000 http://kpericles.edublogs.org/2007/08/26/just-thinking/#comment-45 Thanks Graham - I did read Konrad's comments and they are very inviting. A great model for students and teachers alike. I feel a bit daunted as I am not such an expert "comment replier". I like your description of "higher level (blog) use" because it leads nicely to higher level thinking and deep knowledge, which is exactly what we aim for with our students. Exciting possibilities, exciting learning communities, exciting classrooms :) Don't you just love it! Thanks Graham – I did read Konrad’s comments and they are very inviting.

Talk about great role modelling for his students. I agree with you, Kim - I believe that his use of blogs is the higher level use we knew deep down that these technologies are capable of - Konrad's reflections show us how to utilise this and create our own classroom learning communities.
