I just wanted to send a note to let you know how much I appreciate your blog and all your work in posting free resources. I found you and your site from Closing the Gap last year, as I was lucky enough to get a free parent scholarship to the conference. As a parent living with and teaching a special needs child, these resources are very valuable to us! Hi Paul, Happy Birthday!

I agree there is so much to explore and more coming on board. I sometimes feel a sense of anxiety in trying to keep up with it all particularly as I am in a transitional state and not sure what area of education I will settle in. Keeping up with it all (reading, exploring) is a daily task that seems to take more and more of my time; I am sure I am not the only one experiencing this! I don't think there is a solution! Thanks for sharing the toolbelt quote, will reflect on it and apply. Paul, your words resonate my feels. I agree there is so much to explore and more coming on board.

I am interested in the various online collaborative tools and will be keen to see how this compares with elluminate and flash meeting. Have you tried either of those?

There's a piece of cake on its way to each of you! Here in Canada, tradition has it that the cake comes to me. In India, where I grew up, it was the birthday boy who was responsible for providing the treats. I prefer the Indian and Australian custom. --Paul Thanks Sue, Marie, Beth, and Jan for your kind words. There’s a piece of cake on its way to each of you!

I want you to know that your hard work in digging about for the good stuff has really influenced my teaching. What I like most about the way you showcase Web 2.0 tools is that you go beyond the "gee-whiz" to talk about how we can integrate powerful and meaning-making technology in our work with children. I am pretty sure I heard about VoiceThread from you first: I just shared it with colleagues today at the first SD71 CUEBC meeting. Thanks for all you do! Bravo, Paul!

And thank you for the wealth of resources that you have shared. I am still in awe of the willingness and openness in sharing that is evident amongst educators today. I remember days past working in institutions were some educators were reluctant to share resources and everyone had to build up their own bank. Here's too many more sharing experiences!

A common workplace tradition in Australia (or at least Western Australia) is the persons whose birthday it is has to buy cakes for all their work mates to enjoy. Is that the same where you are? If so wondering where our cake is? Or is your tradition we have to buy the cake? Here's to many more great birthdays. Congratulations Paul on your second birthday.
