Blogs she dealt with feedback. Blogs allow a teacher to literally take allow a teacher to literally take their kids out into the world from their kids out into the world from classrooms anywhere in America. classrooms anywhere in America.

Not all it’s cracked up to be

Students are already publishing…

Students know how to entertain themselves….

Good things can happen
I know some folks will fail to see the relevance in this, and will talk about standards and curriculum and mandated testing. But I guess I don’t see how this could be any more relevant - this is life in the 21st century (ironically demonstrated by very non-21st century water buffalo cultivation). This is 12 days from problem to solution, and 24 days from problem to Internet-viral-movie-extended solution that may impact hundreds or thousands. Shouldn’t we be teaching kids about this stuff? Can’t we address the curriculum and standards in ways like this? Shouldn’t we be helping prepare them to be really good at using these tools in both their professional and personal lives to impact the world around them? Shouldn’t we be helping prepare our students to change the world?
