I’m finally getting around to answering the comments and queries. Thank you all who’ve offered constructive advice and encouragement. The Voki is behaving itself and no longer aggressively taking over the sidebar, Feevy seems to be working (although it won’t display my friend SandiaCala’s blog, but you can check out some of the others…), I checked out the tutorial on Widgetboxes, so that’ll be “coming soon”!

Daniela asked: “What are your favorite blogs to use with the students in class?”… The truth of the matter is I haven’t yet started blogging with my students. I’m still fiddling with the technology and thinking about what exactly I want to do. I want to use blogs as a useful tool to teach (English), and not get stuck in the technology for technology’s sake. I did talk to one of my classes about setting up some blogs and the response was overwhelmingly positive…

So, be patient a little longer and keep watching the site!
