Comments on: 13,343 Thanks http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/13343-thanks/ Learning with the Read/Write Web Tue, 19 Jul 2011 20:36:16 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Tom Hemingway http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/13343-thanks/comment-page-1/#comment-10533 Tom Hemingway Mon, 15 Jan 2007 07:04:21 +0000 http://weblogg-ed.com/2007/13343-thanks/#comment-10533 I just ordered my copy from Amazon a week before this post, and look forward to sharing it with colleagues here in Turkey. You mentioned updated links and a second edition, but what about the 13,343 (+ me) who already have a copy? Have you thought about a website for owners of the book where you can publish updates, appendices, etc? Sort of like the Fifth Discipline series by Peter Senge, that has supplements available for download.

Hooray for the teachers it helped! Hip, Hip Hooray for all the kids it impacted in such positive ways. Thanks for being such a strong, clear, helpful voice. It is so difficult to know what will actually be the catalyst for substantial change. I haven't given up on the power of wise words that are timely and well-spoken. So often, yours are all of the above. Hooray for you!

I grabbed and read my copy tonight as I am preparing to work with students to learn "more efficient and relevant ways" to use the web. This group is a small group of students labeled gifted, but I am interested in learning how they are using the web now and if it is inline with where many parents and teachers feel students are "tech savvy". Thanks again for your dedication, it makes my (among others) work easier and more enjoyable! Timely post. Congrats!

When I first entered the world of Web 2.0 last summer, it was quite mind-boggling. So, I bought your book and David Warlick's "Classroom Blogging" book. Money well spent. Started me off on the right path. Thanks again. Thank You!!!

I think some folks are concerned it reduces their "legitimacy" There is some cache in the consulting world if you have published a book, and I think some small bit of scorn, confusing self publishing with vanity publishing! I don't worry about the cache and legitimacy comes in people finding the text useful and their engagement with it. That's where my hope sits! Good luck on the second book. I'll be happy when my first finally emerges into the world! Three of us are working on a final draft of a small book and we decided to self publish.

I especially love having it on my reference shelf at work and asked our Science & Technology Library here at the New York Hall of Science to buy one as well.. I am ALL for free....BUT is there an arguement that by selling your ideas in the marketplace gives them greater validity in a capitalist culture? Does it give some beef to your ideas in some areas? Just a thought! I bought it as well and love.
