David Knowles sent me this link today. This is what we've been saying all along, so most of it is preaching to the choir.

This is the research project that I found and visited in 2000. Ricki Goldman-Segall is a digital video ethnograhper studing how children learn and think. Her book from 1998 was an inspiration for me and my study pertner, William Vonsild, and with a study grant from our university of education in Copenhagen, we were enabled to visit Vancouver and Vancouver Island. Ricki was very helpful and let us follow her multimedia students' exam projects, and supported our vist to the achool that she had used for her research project about five years earlier, Bayside Middle School. A school built in 1992 with a technology enriched infrastructure, each pod of 10 classrooms had a very well equipped computer lab and the whole building was wired in order to have access to very fast internet connection from anywhere.
