• Dr. Cook's Blog | 10 lessons from blogging everyday for a year (365:365)

  I really like lesson number 8: "In order to be a better writer, you have to read! Many of my posts were inspired by something I read. I want to especially thank all of the other education bloggers out there sharing their knowledge!" I agree completely, and would like to thank Dr. Cook as well for providing just that sort of inspiration.
