Kudos to the three you chose Scott. Alice by far is probably my most avid reader at my Seeking the Wisdom blog. (http://tnturner.edublogs.org)

Through her comments, we’ve been able to strike up a great friendship through email and IM, as well as throwing educational ideas off of each other. WTG Alice!

Thanks, Miguel, for including me on your list. You probably need to let the other folks know somehow (besides a comment on my blog) that you’re recognizing them – great commenters all! Maybe a post on your own blog (hint, hint)? =)

Okay, this is one of the nicest things to happen to me lately. Thank you Scott, you’ve been a fantastic help in my journey into education technology. I’ve meet some fantastic folks from your recommendations, etc. Now I’m going to put up a post on my blog before my pre-vacation hibernation about this and go back to sleep, lol.

What a great idea! I guess I’ll have to give myself one. Perhaps I will add some bling to mine.

Wow. You know you’ve made it when….

Truly, I comment to learn myself and to hear from a well-regarded blogger like yourself that my comments are appreciated is like icing on the cake!

As my own blog suggests, I think aloud (allowed), and the comment forum has been a terrific way for me to sort through my own thoughts and get feedback from voices I truly admire (in agreement or not).

Professional validation is always valued and I hope that school leaders remember that as they work with their staff.

Thanks for the mention…it means a lot.

This is a great idea! I want to recognize three bloggers who comment frequently on all of my student blogs. Their comments are helpful, relevant, and very thought-provoking for the students.

I nominate:
Lani Ritter Hall
Chris McIntosh
Carolyn (not sure of her last name)

Now I’m off to my blog to post about this post and share the same sentiments about these terrific commenters!

Best,
Anne

Carol Fuller has no blog of her own but she is our Fairy Blogmother, here is an example:

Carol took some poetry my children blogged and with her students turned it into a play which spanned the Atlantic and spawned its own blog:

Andy in Aberdeen:

gives regular encouragement to my class
Ewan McIntosh (his mum is listed above) is not a frequent commenter on my classes blogs but when he does the ripples spread.
