I am doing some research with a fellow doctoral colleague on "talk" in the classroom and I am trying to draw the families in for a richer and lasting experience. I am trying to think of a way to scan the notes sent in or transcribe our dialogue in class and then get it out to all families on my website on a sort of newsfeed. I think it could have a powerful impact if only I can figure out how to go about it. We have kicked around a few ideas and I just loved reading your blog today! I am proud of the work that you do, Steve. Love, Gwen (your mom's cousin) Hi Steve,

I guess God led me to your blog today as I am trying to build relationships with my parents this year in a different and deeper way. I am doing some research with a fellow doctoral colleague on “talk” in the classroom and I am trying to draw the families in for a richer and lasting experience. I am trying to think of a way to scan the notes sent in or transcribe our dialogue in class and then get it out to all families on my website on a sort of newsfeed. I think it could have a powerful impact if only I can figure out how to go about it. We have kicked around a few ideas and I just loved reading your blog today! I am proud of the work that you do, Steve.

However, I think people forget that a conversation involves give and take, input and output, speaking and listening. I fear "technology" has taken the listening out of our conversations because everyone just wants to be heard so their name becomes known. Luckily, I find this is less of an issue in the network of teachers, but I still think it's something that needs more emphasis when building these online relationships. Glad I found your blog.

Too many times, we forget about the foundations simply because the word technology comes into play. Your point about great technology creating the connections between people and ideas is excellent. When we see social media, relationships around ideas, beliefs, and paths are at the core. With that said, it is your last paragraph that resonates so much with me: "I urge you not to take in a list of ten great technologies to suggest to teachers and principals, not to go out and buy books X, Y, or Z, but ultimately to start a conversation about what you’re learning and with whom you’re connected to." Just think about how different our conversations surrounding emerging technologies and social media might be if framed around ideas like relationships.
