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.

new CR2.0 group: "John Dewey's Import on Education Reform"
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.

Where can I find out more about urban education initiatives
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
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.
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.

Great blog I am rss feeding it to my nung site for our staff.
