Hopefully see you again very soon.Paul R.

My concern is also with the number of people that are being pitted against each other so to speak and afraid they are going to lose a job. Each of us is not the enemy and we do need to lay it on the line and know that what we do is so very important. Thanks Scott. Good to see you in Philly.Paul R.

Either it automates or in innovates. There are indeed a great many digital technologies that automate and I could not live without. Like the RSS Reader that brought your post to me; it's much faster than a newspaper. And then they are the innovations, like participatory culture, evidenced here by the comments we will attach to your post.<br />The other point I see->is it all about the tool or is it all about the content. Are we being flashy or are we improving student learning?<br />I only want to be among the be seen group if it gets me a Starbucks. And Paul you already paid up!Durffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05683687754001195123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750754251472488425.post-59070158994594347412011-06-26T10:57:41.007-05:002011-06-26T10:57:41.007-05:00Moving my comment over here...

We have to remember that administrators too are beaten down and feeling powerless. Classroom teachers rely on leaders for support but many have little to give right now. Our leaders need upgrades in their own learning, resources, and support networks.Scott McLeodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08368435018346090846noreply@blogger.com
