Hi, When I am interacting with students in a discussion forum or posting my evaluative comments in their gradebook I work very hard to give them individualized feedback and to extend their learning. My quandry is that I tend to be more expansive when concentrating on making connections and yet I also want very much to convey a few key points that are not lost in a lengthier discourse. I am still working on creating that fine line between personalized and thoughtful content and ensuring that the recipient will take away my key ideas and suggestions. Do any of you have any wisdom to share regarding this topic? Laura Smythe
