Thanks! I needed that ;-) - dfw 
We all must become our own librarian. We need to cultivate and grow a personal digital library of content that helps us accomplish our goals. - dfw
Yes! But in my opinion, not nearly interactive enough. They are responsive to some degree, but they do not provoke conversation. I would love to have a digital textbook that becomes a meeting place for the class. A lot of discussion has taken place on this subject, but Apple is working with the textbook industry, creating something that keeps them in power. - dfw
To be honest, I may write one ;-) - dfw
Weinberger is the philosopher that mentioned following with Twitter. - dfw
What I love about blogging assignments is that you can integrate the students into the assessment process. - dfw
I wasn't there, so I can't say for sure. But I wonder if it's not that they weren't excited about the beach, the were excited about sharing the experience. - dfw
One thing about writing is that we should assign students to write shorter. I want you to write about this, and I want you to do it on one page. It's part of that being overwhelmed. We need to learn to communicate more succinctly, at the same time that we're communicating more compellingly. - dfw
Good story! - dfw
Well said, and something I'll have to think about some more. - dfw
Good point. A new model for professional learning is needed. I usually suggest to university education schools that they should prepare their students for the first five years of their careers, and with the skills and habits to keep on learning. - dfw
This is not exactly what you are looking for, but you may research the Reggio Emilia approach - dfw
Nope, I'm gung-ho on 1:1. I think that there is no choice -- a matter of when not whether. However, I see a lot of schools going the cheap route, getting handhelds instead of laptops, and thinking that they've solved the "technology" problem. All things considered, I'd still recommend a laptop over a tablet. But as I may have indicated, I'm in the process of being convinced that the iPad has a place in the classroom. - dfw
Yes! They know how to play the information. They need us to help them learn to work it. - dfw
Those are the two main ones I would recommend. You might try Educon, put on by the Science Leadership Academy. You might also try one put on by Gary Stager about constructivist learning. - dfw
CN Reese i would look to see where Daniel Pink is speaking 6 Feb 2012 - 12:48:58 He's a pretty good speaker. I've spoken the same conference as him a couple of times. - dfw
Yes! One of the popular terms on the Internet today is curator. I am a Blog curator now ;-) - dfw
