My Best Posts
Sometimes it seems like I spend a lot of time in this blog rubbing sticks together and only occasionally do I get sparks and fire. Whether it’s a post that draws a lot of comment or one that gets a link in a high-profile blog or one of which I’m just particularly proud, at Steve Dembo’s suggestion, rather than letting those nuggets slide off the main page and fade into obscurity, I thought it would be worthwhile to start up my own little hall of fame:
Professional Development: My Way, Every Day! - A personal favorite because it pretty much lays out in black and white my philosophy and aspirations for teacher professional development. Also, it was the first post that drew a comment from someone who I had never heard of, someone who just found me and cared enough to respond to what I was saying. What a charge!
Create Your Own Comic Strip - Even now, this post draws the majority of the traffic to my blog due to the fact that someone (not me, I promise) linked to it on the Wikipedia article on online comic generators. I want to write more like this one, but they take time. Something original – not a reaction on something someone else posted but a real “article,” a review.
Michel Foucault, Privacy, and Doubts about Web 2.0 – I was getting pretty discouraged with blogging when I wrote this post in the spring of 2008. This idea had been banging around in my head for some time and then I saw Vicki Davis‘ request for new “unknown” bloggers and decided to put it down, tell her about it, and see if anyone cared. I had a great reaction to what I thought was a pretty thought-provoking post, even if my memory of Foucault turned out to be a little fuzzy.
