Re: [AlwaysLearning]Reading Sandra's website
Jennifer Varela
I actually use your website a lot when I get asked questions about
unschooling. People wanting to know more, or people asking specific
questions. Not only that, but, there is still a list or two that I'm on
where I'm the only RU. So, when a parent asks for help, I'm likely to back
up my advice with a link or two to your website. Thanks so much for putting
it all together and keeping it up and running.

Thanks.
I'm really grateful to all the people who have written such great
things over the years and let me use them.
It's like a quilt made out of other people's cloth, most of the
pages. Probably less than half of what's there is my writing.
Some people wish it was organized so they could read it all and know
they had, but it's not. <g> And by the time they could get all the
way through there would be something else added anyway.
I admire the organization of Joyce's page:
http://joyfullyrejoycing.com/
When it was new, a person could read it all.
I think it has recently passed that point. If someone read really
fast, maybe... but Joyce is starting to add other people's writings
too, and I think by the time you finished, some pages would have been
added to, and new pages added.
I don't think that's a bad thing at all! <g> If people poke around
and follow links and get ideas to try, and then they go be with their
kids for hours or days and only come back when they need to, my site
will be doing exactly what I hoped it would do, which is put some
helpful ideas where people can find them.
One of my favorite pages these days is this:
http://sandradodd.com/learning
The links at the bottom look better on my Mac than on Marty's or
Holly's PCs but on any of them, if you make the window narrower or
wider it all moves around. It was fun to do links without words.
It's an adventure for the reader.
