For educators to feel how they gain from this practice so that they can plan ways to use it more effectively with their students. Then that’s excellent news because that’s what I’m hoping to achieve.

Nice to meet you. Like you I need to get a sense of what my students do and feel. I wonder whether they have one way of interacting with us, and another with the big world of social networking. Can we bridge the divide (if it exists). Should we try? Me ... I reckon it depends on the students and the teacher. Hi Skip. Nice to meet you.

I did have some aspects that I didn't agree with on Gina's post (and yes have asked Kate these two same questions). Don't totally agree with "Know when to comment and when to e-mail" - I think this gets back to the type of blogger - sometimes if you know the person and you've noticed something it's okay to say hope you are okay? What are your thoughts? Definitely fail this one "Be succinct" -- even with this comment. The trouble is I read lots of great posts that I want to comment on. The better etiquette if you want to write a long comment is to write a post but I don't always have the time. So whats the answer? No comment? Or long comment? 15-20 comments a week is really good and I'm the same as you I respond if there is something about the post that grabs me so often will comment on the same blogs.
