The past two weeks lost in the blogosphere have me thinking deeply about many things. Reflecting...
It became clear to me that surrounding myself with people who "see" the same grandiose vision as I is so much more important today than it has ever been before in the "business" of public education. I am reminded of Marco Torres, who reminded "us" tech directors in his March07 Keynote at the M.A.C.E. conference that our jobs are to CONNECT people not machines!
Thinking about Classroom2.0, I loved this quote by Will Richardson on his post "A Degree in Social Computing? Oh...The Irony"
I’ve said it many times, my blog, my participation in this network is my Ph.D.How true!! It doesn't matter the network ... networks will come and go as all things do. Just connect.
I've been reflecting on what Will Richardson wrote the other day. It took me by surprise and saddened me to have one of the great thinkers who has shared such wonderful and inspiring ideas with me for a long time....feel defeated.
It's certainly about "Hard Optimism"! It's like The Monster Under The Bed only the bed is gone and now we just have a monster. (smile)
