Chris probably doesn’t consider himself an old friend of mine, as he has moved on. But I remember his early blogging days on CompleteRunning.com, when we were a handful of runners, supporting each other’s attempts at improving health and fitness. He was always there with the right words when I wanted to quit. (I’m still at it, Chris).
His site now focuses on business and social media.
You might be interested in reading a recent post about Twitter, where he gives suggestions for managing and ways NOT to manage all this information (oddly enough, I found him again through Sue Water’s post here). He also blogs about social networking, and his ideas are worth reading as they apply to our students, as well.
Great to find you again, Brogan!

Take the ball and run with it
I love seeing teachers get excited about teaching and learning. One of our teachers has been using some great tools to enhance her English curriculum, but she wanted to see how the students were reacting. Check out the results of her survey.
And thanks to Wes Fryer for pointing me to Animoto. I’ve been playing with some cross country photos, but I can see a much wider use for this application.
Three new FA Bloggers!
A clear, fun video about RSS
A UMW blogger or two
You might be interested in reading the blogs of Gardner Campbell and another colleague at UMW (Jerry? Steve? His name is coming up one way on the blog and another way in my RSS feed) here and here. This post, in particular, talks about Twitter! It’s great to hear college professors discussing teaching with technology in general– and–good teaching in particular.
