It’s funny that you mention generalizations in the first article because that is how I felt about the second article. The author seemed
to make a lot of generalizations to support her points, such as a
email being inherently better than verbal communication. Something about the whole thing left me cold. But I got much more from the article you mention and the videos.

Oh and I did my Karnak the magician trick again. I mentioned billiard balls in my blog yesterday before reading her article and read her use of it today!

I’m a primary classroom teacher, I blog with my kids here and here and I work helping build an open online community for teachers. My time is pretty limited and I think I owe it to the projects that I’m involved in to be so passionate that I can properly focus on the CCK08 course, even though I’m really interested in it.

However I have been monitoring tweets, checking the daily sometimes and generally getting a feel for some of the ideas. For me this has been really valuable, even just from the perspective of expanding my mind in terms of how our students could be expected to participate in society long term. For me just trying to participate has taught me lots.

Anyway thanks for the post, it’s nice to hear from others at the edges.
