Good list... Can we adopt this as our expectation of our great leaders? especially 2, 6 and 7

I know that "flipped" is a trendy idea right now. While I am intrigued by the idea of video tutorials to help guide students in learning, it is absurd to suggest that a video can replace a human in creating the ultimate customized learning experience. What this concept misses is the nature of human learning. Teaching is a relational endeavor. I'm a proponent of the flipped approach. But if we are pushing for flipped, we need to make sure that remains a conversation.

Great discussion piece... good for TOK and beyonmd... Good for a staff discussion... . I like #1, 2 (especially for Mulgrave! I want access like Starbucks!), 4 (go Wikipedia), 5 (go Facebook),  #6 is Mulgrave's moment. Love #8: If you were a video game, no one would play you -- feedback is too slow. But I'm slow anyways 

Sociologist and Microsoft researcher Danah Boyd has written a lot about how younger users respond to privacy issues around Facebook, and it's a lot more nuanced than just saying "kids share everything now." In some cases, younger users are even more concerned about privacy than older users, and they come up with interesting ways of dealing with that

Interesting debate on freedom of expression in schools turned into a religious freedoms issue (though not about religious freedoms in my books). Guess my life has been a waste...and I'm guessing there will also be MANY "Life is wasted without..." shirts at school on Monday! I like "Life is wasted without evolution" OR "Life is wasted without gay marriage" Would that be OK? Isn't science a kind of religious freedom? And what is it with Nova Scotia youth and shirts? Anyway, hope they do a student-led forum on this one as it's loaded with teachable moments...
