Glad to see this gem is getting a lot of viewings. Thanks so much, Ed!

Seeing your contribution makes me realize that we are a true learning community. I'm just basking in the great feeling of being in a group of colleagues that do things like this, and bring us along to share in on the processes of learning with (and from) you.

There's a Yiddish word that describes the feeling: "Kvelling." I'm kvelling. As I understand it (I learned the word from a Middle Eastern women during a Project Zero seminar), it means a sense of family or group pride, a feeling of being and belonging, of taking pride and delight in the accomplishments of our extended group.

Ahhhh.... so nice.

Thanks Ed. I shared this with the Cabrini Connections community on our blog.

Well crafted graphically/musically, Ed. Message content understandably instructional and encouraging--from the experience of teacher/mentor to developing learners. Curious to learn how students respond. Was heartened by student responses to serious and similar message given by President Obama to American students yesterday. Hope those students who see your video respond as favorably.
