Is Michigan professor's assessment of technology in education correct?
John King researches and promotes the use of technology in education as a professor in the School of Information and vice provost for academic information at the University of Michigan. He says it won't be two or three years, but an entire generation of time, before computers and technology are fully integrated into the way kids and adults learn. Here's the link: MI Tech News, August 19, 2007

Against the Flow: Education, the Arts and Postmodern Culture
I found this title on Questia and thought the author's agitation over the diminishing creative and ethical dimension in education is worth considering.

John Dewey is enjoying a revival in education reform discussions, not only in the United States, but around the world. Please join the CR2.0 group dedicated to exploring Dewey's dream for civil society, public schools, and democratic citizenship and ways we might try to implement it today.

a story rife with Web 2.0 buzzwords
NYU professor Jay Rosen wanted to create a platform for professional journalists to collaborate with "the people formerly known as the audience." Here's a story about that collaborative platform: AssignmentZero: By the People Formerly Known as the Audience. It occurred to me that similar professional-amateur collaborations might become part of K-12 curricula as well.

Alyshia Olsen said… - Hi,
My name is Alyshia Olsen; I am a 20 year old college student from Olin College of Engineering. I am a part of a group of 6 Olin College students (we're in Needham, MA, and engineering students) who has taken a year off to work on an education related project. Since you are in the 'e-learning and online teaching' group, I thought you might be interested! Our project is called AlightLearning, and this is our "short" project description:
Under the assumption that within ten years, the landscape of modern education will have fully integrated what we now define as new classroom media: video, online collaboration, open source curriculum and other web tools, we hope to pioneer a web software tool that acts as a platform for this new media, bringing the power of the web and its tools to students, teachers and parents in a secure, comfortable and innovative environment. Our goal is to have our free software at a pilot middle school by April 15th, 2009, continuing to develop and coordinate with our users to create a product that other schools want to pilot and use at their schools, while allowing individual teachers to implement this tool in their own classroom.
Our project, titled Alight Learning, is currently trying to win a competition for startup funding on ideablob.com. You can find us at http://ideablob.com/3975 . We would love your support in the form of a vote within the next couple days, but more importantly we'd love your feedback and comments. Our description on Ideablob is short, and even the one above hardly gets at many of the issues we would like to take a stab at solving, but at least it's a start.
Feel free to email me back, check out alightlearning.com, anything you like!
Thanks,
Alyshia Olsen

- Hi Skip. I left a message for you on your blog. I'm working in inner city Chicago on two levels. First is a direct service tutor/mentor program called Cabrini Connections, http://www.cabriniconnections.net
Second is an intermediary and leadership role, called the Tutor/Mentor Connection, which focus on helping every high poverty neighborhood have a range of volunteer-based tutoring/mentoring programs similar to Cabrini Connections. That site is http://www.tutormentorconnection.org
I host a conference in May and November and hope you'll connect your network to us via that event. http://www.tutormentorconference.org

Marian Thacher said… - Hi Skip,
Thanks for leaving me a note. It sounds like you're at an interesting point in your life. Yes, technology for adult education is definitely a growing field, and not too different from tech for K12.
I've been involved in some workplace basic skills projects, teaching basic skills at a shipyard, various electronics plants, etc. It's always fun to go into the workplace and see what other people do for a living.

- Skip,
I feel honoured to meet you and "pick" your blog and brain. You have so much great and stimulating stuff here. I'll have a few moments to do so this weekend and will reply (busy now organizing a teachers summer camp, yikes!).
I love the title of your blog...perfect and it matters so much.

- I worked with one of my students to produce a video for the Goldman Sachs contest on desertification and environmental impacts of American consumerism. I think it is amazing - a model of what kids can do with digital video using their own native cultures as my friend and inspiration, Howard Rheingold might say. It is posted on Motionbox.com under Youth Filmmaking and is called The Hidden Cost of Cashmere

- Hi Skip, it would be great if you did contribute to the wiki. I had hoped this would happen more when I set it up but this has not been the case. I think it needs restructuring at some point with some of the online applications I have in the top section moved down to the web 2.0 section - maybe just an online and offline division?? I'm not sure but I would love for others to contribute to this resource.
