You are definitely right about the time commitment and the difference between posts and comments. Posts definitely take more time and require more forethought. As such, I appreciate you taking the time to comment on mine! :) @Mike,

Starting a blog means making a commitment of time and stepping over a somewhat scary threshold into the blogosphere. Many teachers are not quite ready for that yet. Shutting off comments shuts them out of the conversation. And for those of us who do blog, many prefer to make posts that are a little more developed than a one or two-sentence comment on someone else's thoughts. I blog a couple of times a week at most and they are usually my own questions and thoughts, not reactions to what others are saying. Comments are a drive-by; posts are a sit-down. I think both are necessary. Not everyone has their own blog (yet). Starting a blog means making a commitment of time and stepping over a somewhat scary threshold into the blogosphere.

Let us know if you do get in. I used Screen Movie Recorder to help with my iMovie for Google. It was super easy to use though I did use a lower frame rate, but for what I wanted, it was fine.

Thus, I have edited my <a href="http://msmichetti.edublogs.org/about/" rel="nofollow">About</a> page. I am happy with my new version, but at the same time I imagine I will be changing it again in the future. That's part of what's exciting about the developing and interactive nature of web and learning 2.0. Note to self: I have just realized that perhaps I need to make the desire to connect more clear.
