Re: [Understand] Chapter six?

That is the beauty of the Internet and lists like this.  You can  
create a Personal Learning Network of likeminded people even if you  
cannot find a group at your location.  Sharing ideas here is powerful  
and hopefully, eventually there will also be local people who share  
your passion.

My sentiments exactly.  I feel as I am seen as too eager, too  
studious or just too much.  It's exhausting trying not to be who I  
am but it's also a bit alienating being the kind of teacher you  
describe below.  I once walked into the school library where two  
teachers were chuckling as one showed the other my blog.  There may  
have been nothing bad intended in the chuckle but it still made me  
feel sad.
