In the beginning… « Adventures in Middle School
The goal of all this is to imagine. As I have told my students every year, at the end of the school year, I will be the one who has learned the most. I feel the same way about this blog.

“I need 89% on this assignment to get into Queen’s.”
That’s when I realized that, to Julia - one of the best students in my class, one of the best writers - writing was really only about getting a grade. It had no other meaning or purpose. All of her learning was reduced to one thing - the need to achieve a certain average.

November Learning - David Truss
David has been using his 'Pair-a-Dimes for Your Thoughts' blog as the hub of his personal learning environment for two years now, charting his use of Web2.0 tools with his students along the way.
