  • As I’m fond of saying, Facebook is about people you used to know; Twitter is about people you’d like to know better.

      It is an interesting notion that facebook is all about the past continuum, but twitter is all about you taking initiative to connect to an interest group.

  • Are we going to applaud, push or even permit our schools (including most of the private ones) to continue the safe but ultimately doomed strategy of churning out predictable, testable and mediocre factory-workers?
  • The bottom is not a good place to be, even if you're capable of getting there.
  • Large-scale education was never about teaching kids or creating scholars. It was invented to churn out adults who worked well within the system.

      His line is that he knows himself well enough to know that he'll get "into it" with commenters... and that he doesn't want to spend his life energy in conflict with the haters. I get that... but there's no opportunity for conversation at its source.

      Are teachers in tradable or non-tradable positions?

      Interesting question. Certainly the nature of the POSSIBILITIES of what we do has changed. My mother was a teacher and I don't feel that she had the same opportunities to shift what she did the same way that I can.

      A new generation, not by birth but by education.  An octogenarian can equally become a part of the new generation depending on their commitment to learning new skills. 
  • Sure, there was some moral outrage at seven-year olds losing fingers and being abused at work, but the economic rationale was paramount. Factory owners

      s we get ready for the 93rd year of universal public education, here's the question every parent and taxpayer needs to wrestle with: Are we going to applaud, push or even permit our schools (including most of the private ones) to continue the safe but ultimately doomed strategy of churning out predictable, testable and mediocre factory-workers?

      How does this relate to national, as well as international schools? So many discussions on Twitter that I've followed seem to come from educators at U.S. state schools who are struggling with the restrictions imposed by law and policy makers, which seem intent on crushing creativity and connections within - and between - schools.
  • Our current system of teaching kids to sit in straight rows and obey instructions isn't a coincidence--it was an investment in our economic future. The plan: trade short-term child labor wages for longer-term productivity by giving kids a head start in doing what they're told.

      Consider Pink's assertion that our society will become a "thinking economy" where jobs will reflect emphasis on leadership skills.  Are we there yet?

      This revolution just simply changes how people understands the world and changes how people react to each other.  New kinds of training is needed more and more.

    Mac OS X has a screen saver that takes an RSS feed of images as a data source. Naturally I thought Flickr would provide good RSS feeds for tags, and users. Flickr offers these feeds, but unfortunately limits them to 20 items and does not offer any sorting or filtering options. To gain more control over RSS feeds of Flickr images, I made this Flickr RSS Generator. This generator uses the Flickr API to retrieve images determined by parameters you specify and returns an RSS feed, whose URL you can paste into the screensaver options screen in OS X.
