I have always learned far more from students than I have taught than they ever learned from me -- or that's what I think was always occurring. The blogging that the students are doing continues to amaze and delight me...And in large part, it's because the teachers have done such an amazing job leading them. My hope, increasingly, is that everyone — teachers, students, parents, others — all feel more and more open to learning something that can push them beyond their comfort zone….

I chose the "advanced" course because I really didn't feel as though I was a "beginner." The only reason for that is that I have learned so much from the sixth graders and their ability to dive (most of them "head first") into the deep end with blogging. Within weeks of my shaky introduction, the students were so willing to take risks and reflect on on their own experiences in a way that I have never seen before. So, part of the answer for me (in addition to "keeping my feet on the ground, my ear to the world, and my eyes focused") is to learn from the children who are so comfortable with expressing themselves in blogs, learning by contributing to wikis, and enthusiastically recording their opinions and ideas on podcasts.
