Treating conversation with respect
I have restored the link to the South Fayette Library blog. Because I had not prepared you properly for commenting by having each create a Google account, many of you were not able to leave comments on this blog. We have received excellent responses to our commenting from other authors.
I have learned, through our Speak experience, that effective blogging and commenting is about conversation. Removing the link cut off a thread of that conversation. My thanks to all of you–my students, Vicki Davis, and James Brush–for helping me learn a valuable lesson.

You are a great teacher because you share, you learn, you adjust! I have to do this all of the time! And actually, I think that when I correct myself and explain what has happened, that my students learn even better! Great job modeling, teaching, and explaining!

I agree with Vicki Davis.
