Blogging family
Bud’s post about his accident really made me pause and think. First, I am so glad that he is OK. I know hugging his daughter and enjoying those Christmas ights will absolutely be the best medicine possible..
I’ve blogged before about how special it it\s to be part of an “edublogging family”, just like I’m a member of my school family. These extended family groups really add much to your life. Educators are a special breed and I am thankful to be a part of the community.

I agree with the point of being in a kind of family. But mine is spread across several blogging communities and sometimes I find that my edublogging family (my own brothers and sisters, to take the metaphor further) have more complicated links than a traditional family model. Should we hold respect for those who have been around for longer or should we be giving some leash to new kids on the block who have new ideas and new ways to take things forward? It’s something I’ve been struggling with these last few days, with some nice and not-so-nice posts from others. I’d appreciate (all) your thoughts.
