Wow! Wow! Wow! Wow!

Jaclyn posts about how her view of sharing and the competitive nature of academics is changing with a course she is taking that is pushing her to share via her blog. I would like to find out what course this is!

Great blog, Jacklyn, one of my favorite quotes (of the many) says:

"Just like teaching, learning needs to be wide open and full of networking. Instead of handing in that assignment to one teacher, I am handing it in to the world and saying, "Take a look at me and what I think". It is incredibly empowering when you think about it.
I really did use to hate sharing. I hated sharing my markers in Kindergarten, I hated sharing my books with friends (heaven forbid they bend the spine or one of the pages), and I especially hated sharing my work with classmates. But suddenly, none of these things matter to me anymore. In fact, somewhere between my weirdness as a child, and my awkward teen years, I learned to love sharing. And because of this course, I have learned to love sharing my work and my ideas. In truth, if it wasn't for my classmates sharing their ideas, I would not have managed to get through all those tech tasks!"

Wow! This post sums up the evolution in learning and sharing and it is done very well. Great job, Jaclyn.

And I found you because you linked to me and I follow those backlinks. Great blogging on many levels!

OK, although David Warlick has been doing this forever, I'm going to learn how to mobile blog. I enabled my phone and here are the instructions for blogger - am going to use the instructions to blog to my blog, not exactly just a mobile blog, but still, it will be cool. Trying to figure out if I can send video.

Edublogs has begun embedded context sensitive ads into the blog posts of its authors. I agree with Christopher Sessums, the ethics of this is very questionable, particularly if people aren't asked or given a chance to turn it off.

An edubloggers list of women edubloggers - not a ranking, just a list. There are some new people to "meet" here for me.

LOL - at Karl Kapp included at the end. Not sure why, but he and I both think it is funny.

State of the blogosphere is a great read for those who want to understand it. I agree with a lot of these things. They are going to be releasing future portions of this report - we're only on day 2.

If you haven't used this on the side of your blog - it is a great widget builder to share all of the places that you share!

What is your blog rated? Just wondering.

And if it is rated G (as mine is) why on earth can't we allow them through filters! We don't let ALL paper on our campuses but discern the right kind of printed material to have at school. So, we shouldn't let all websites on there -- but to blog something because it is a blog or hosted by blogger makes no sense!

Great newcoming blogger. EstieC uses hyperlinks very nicely and has a nice writing style. Here, she reflects on the importance of commenting and is also part of one of the best pd projects that I've seen in a long time: the 23Things project out of Atlanta. A great model.

Seeing my students blog like this one on cyber security makes me realize that effective online communication and writing is important. I'm proud of my student bloggers and glad that we've made time to blog this year!

Join thought leaders in education policy and national politics to discuss how the Internet is changing the discourse of education reform, and how those changes are affecting the 2008 presidential election. ED in '08 welcomes ed-bloggers and political bloggers to take part in the discussion.

I'm glad the "thought leaders" in American can come, however, the timing of this conference precludes most teachers I know from even considering coming we're all in the "home stretch" and rarely are we able to leave the classroom, especially this time of year.

I would hope that one day the edublogosphere would truly level us so that teachers would be included in these discussions. For, until that happens, I doubt we'll find any truly relevant change for the classroom.. just more buzzwords and "programs" that don't suit today's student.

Hint: If you want reform, ask some good teachers or at least include them in the discussion. There are some big picture thinkers out there that ARE teachers in the public classroom.
