I am inspired by several popular edubloggers, but I feel the strongest connection to David Warlick.
Maybe it is the fact that I have seen David several times, in person, at various conferences. Maybe it is his down home Carolina charm. Or it could be the comforting twang in his voice on the Connect Learning podcasts. But most likely, it is the simple fact that I think, more than anyone else that I read on a regular basis, David gets where we have been, where we are now and where we should head next in education.
In a message from St. Patrick's Day 2006, David wrote:
Thank you, David, for making me think, making me examine what I do in my classroom and for inspiring me to share my thoughts as a new edublogger! My concern is finding the time to be a fairly regular edublogger - I don't know how some folks can be SO prolific! ( Wes Fryer!)

This message, today, is about a new story of new notions of the basic skills that describe what it means to be a reader, when information is increasingly networked; what it means to be a processor of information, when information is increasingly digital; what it means to be a writer, when information is increasingly overwhelming, and the ethical implications that ride with this new shape of information.
