Bud the Teacher

        I met today with the fine folks of last summer’s Colorado State University Writing Project Summer Institute.   It was nice to check in with everyone and see what they’ve been up to since our month of intensive professional development this summer. 
    Perhaps the best part of our meeting today was that I was given the opportunity to do some intensive blogvangelism.  I’m pleased to share that every member of our group created a blog and opened a Bloglines account.  We’ll be working to build a community over the year in order to keep track of the work that we’re doing in our different schools, cultures, and contexts. 
    Here’s the "script" for today’s presentation.  I hate days when I’m forced to go  through a process by someone who insists that we all are on the same screen at the same time — so I tried to do something better.  I think it worked.
    Check the comments for links to the new blogs.  I’ll post highlights over the next few weeks as a way to introduce you to these amazing teachers. 
    Several folks asked to participate in a "Blogging 103" workshop to be held at some future date. 
    Kool-Aid all around!
