    Have you ever wondered what the geographic boundaries of the U.S. Courts of Appeal are? How about the U.S. District Courts? If you have, then you may want to check out the excellent map in The Box, courtesy of Wikipedia. The map shows each of the 11 U.S Circuit Courts of Appeal's territories as well as the District Court territories within them. This map would be a useful teaching tool for teachers or for student projects. Link to the Wikipedia article here.

  • control is over. This is not about control anymore. This is about finding a way to survive and thrive in chaos.
  • We can’t roll back the clock to an earlier age without computers, without Internet, without the subtle but profound distraction of text messaging. The school is of its time, not out it.
  • The role of the instructor has changed
  • ...14 more annotations...
  • helps the students find the material available online, and helps them to make sense of it, contextualizing and informing their understanding. even as the students continue to work their way through the ever-growing set of information.
  • The instructor facilitates and mentors, as they have always done, but they are no longer the gatekeepers, because there are no gatekeepers, anywhere.
  • the more something is shared, the more valuable it becomes.
  • Education happens everywhere, not just with your nose down in a book, or stuck into a computer screen
  • Many students will never be very computer literate, but every single one of them has a mobile handset, and every single one of them sends text messages.
  • net filtering throws the baby out with the bathwater
  • Services like Twitter get filtered out because they could potentially be disruptive, cutting students off from the amazing learning potential of social messaging. Facebook and MySpace are seen as time-wasters, rather than tools for organizing busy schedules
  • media sites are blocked because the schools don’t have enough bandwidth to support them; Wikipedia is blocked because teachers don’t want students cheating.
  • Filtering, while providing a stopgap, only leaves students painfully aware of how disconnected the classroom is from the real world.
  • the maxim of the 21st century: connection is king
  • Students must be free to connect with instructors
  • difficult for instructors to manage, but it is vital.
  • Connection is expensive, not in dollars, but in time. But for all its drawbacks, connection enriches us enormously.
  • We need to let go, we need to trust ourselves enough to recognize that what we have now, though it worked for a while, is no longer fit for the times.
