The Ed Techie: Remote conference participation - results
This is a subject that deserves some thought. For the most part, online conferences (and online strands of face-to-face) seem to be perceived as (and often subtly created as) alternative to the "real thing" that are inferior but better-than-nothing. Reminds me of the way distance education and online learning (mostly) used to be seen the same way in comparison to their face-to-face counterparts...

Informal Education - Exploring reflection and learning
"Here we look more closely at the process of working with others (or ourselves) to deepen learning. In particular, we explore: emancipating and enlarging experience, the nature of reflection, and learning from experience"
The Ed Techie: Is the revolution justified?
Martin Weller has posted his draft paper for comments, which will be integrated into the print version. A great idea for engaging the network and sharing informally while working toward a formal artifact. It's lengthy, but at a quick glance wortwhile. Check it out. Leave comments. Plenty to chew on here!
ACMHE: Contemplative Mind in Higher Education
"Promoting the emergence of a broad culture of contemplation in the academy." This is exactly (part of) what I've been harping endlessly about...

Free online conference with George Siemens, D'Arcy Norman, Tony Hirst, Alec Couros, Martin Weller, Josie Fraser and others. Hope the sessions are recorded since there's no way I can actually listen to any sessions live.
Keats’ "Vale of Soul-Making"
I will call the world a School instituted for the purpose of teaching little children to read--I will call the human heart the horn Book used in that School
-
I will put it in the most homely form possible-I will call the world a School instituted for the purpose of teaching little children to read-I will call the human heart the horn Book used in that School-and I will call the Child able to -read, the Soul made from that School and its hornbook.

"The latest tactic by evolution opponents – 'academic freedom' laws – recently scored its first major victory." SIGH.
The Last Professor - Stanley Fish Blog - NYTimes.com
Those ideas have now triumphed (Carnegie and Crane are victorious), and this means, Donoghue concludes, “that all fields deemed impractical, such as philosophy, art history, and literature, will henceforth face a constant danger of being deemed unnecessary.” And as a corollary “professors will come to be seen by everyone (not just those outside the academy) as unaffordable anomalies.”
Wake Up and Smell the New Epistemology - ChronicleReview.com
For decades, we professors and administrators drank deeply of notions like "knowledge for knowledge's sake" and "the transformative power of the liberal arts," paying little heed as the American populace shifted from widespread respect for the academy to considerable skepticism of it. Today our students occupy the leading edge of that popular shift, with no real interest in the elitist notions that we consume so readily.
Blog of helios: Linux - Stop holding our kids back
I'm speechless. "At this point, I am not sure what you are doing is legal. No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful. These children look up to adults for guidance and discipline."
Social Media Classroom
Howard Rheingold's social media classroom project (based on Drupal) is being "released" for use as a download and eventually a hosted app... The SMC is also hosting a community of educators interested in social software and education.
