How do you determine what an online course is? I love Stephen Downes' tongue in cheek thought on how this is being defined. great points.

This is a course for Spring Branch ISD which uses a blog as the framework. I also love how 9 hours of professional development is being given for the educators in this course. We need more embedded PD that gives teachers an opportunity to embed their learning in their daily activity. Embedded PD is the key to transformational learning. While there is a time and place for getting away, we have traditionally only used that "away" method when we also need to use the "learn right here" method of delivery as well.

Take a look at what Karen is doing here as you evaluate your pd delivery methods. I also have to admit that Spring Woods High school is one that has been an outstanding contributor to Flat Classroom in the past, so I personally know they are walking the walk here.

Microsoft not going for social networking but for educational networking. Before you roll your eyes, the fact is that overlaying educational networks on top of social networks is rife with problems. This is being tested at University of Washington, Syracuse University and New York University. There are many benefits to keeping work and personal separate and educational networks may be a great asset if done right, to the education space.

Miguel Guhlin writes about the evolution of education.

"And, it all comes back to the point that Tim Holt suggests in his comment.
The "education model" has changed...the rest are the equivalent of "walking dead."
The question is, what will it take to re-animate the corpses, to move from zombie-like stupor to phoenix rising?"
