During reading workshop my students and I quite often read blogs. At the end of the session we share an interesting thing we found/read on one of the blogs.
This is a great way to document the reading, share the paths that we took and learn how to hyperlink in our posts. Thanks Alan – all that coffee and wilderness in Iceland makes for some great ideas!
PS: Thanks for skyping with us this morning – the 5th graders are still talking about it – especially the raindeer part!!

This is such a fun idea. I love wandering and I often end up somewhere and have no idea how I arrived.

I am honored that I was on your journey. I love Barefoot Foodie and would follow her anywhere!

You can tell you’re sitting in the wilderness in Iceland. But in a good way.

I love this idea of “mapping” a trail from blog-to-blog. Hopefully when I can scratch out a little free time, I will post my trail. Great idea.

> The Good Stuff is finding stuff all those Snooty A-listers are not writing about. There are more trails than you can imagine, and more treasures to find, share, and spend some valuable time wandering among.

Right. Absolutely.

It’s really easy to be distracted by the stuff that seems Really Important. But rooting around in the ‘dead stuff’ is equally important. And a lot more interesting.
