I could run around my school and district showing teachers and administrators Bob’s kids’ vodcast and I might even get a few people excited – but most WON”T GET IT! You can’t just show most people – you have to show them and explain it to them and then answer their questions and then show it to them again and then explain it to them again and then show them how this relates to things they already do – takes the place of this and makes it even better and does this and this and this! I’m telling you they will think the vodcast was kinda cool… would be an interesting thing for their kids to do once if they had the equipment and the time and someone to show them how to do it. But they won’t get it until they experience you doing it and getting them to do it…several times … and talk about it and have them notice their students’ reaction and learning and how they talk about it and how excited their parents get about it.

I am glad that there are people like you at the forefront who are able to speak with such people face to face. I think education is at a crossroads. We have a tool chest that we should expand to include new tools while not discarding old ones that work and remain relevant. We simply cannot have educators who are asking student to learn something new every day who stop their foot in anger and refuse to learn something new themselves! Great post!

I think education is at a crossroads. We have a tool chest that we should expand to include new tools while not discarding old ones that work and remain relevant.

We simply cannot have educators who are asking student to learn something new every day who stop their foot in anger and refuse to learn something new themselves!

Great post!

I don't think we want everyone to join MySpace and try to clean it up, but I do think we should become better informed about what is out there, what folks are doing, and how they can use these social networking sites more safely.

It raises several questions. First, where's the outrage aimed at those who fill MySpace and other blog sites with illicit drug use, promiscuity, and profanity? Where's the outrage at those who are prompting the blocks? Where's the outrage aimed at the pedofiles who make these sites unsafe? Directing educators on methods to bypass web filters is, in my opinion, the wrong message. It could, depending upon local polices, land them in trouble. The problem is not the administrators who are trying to block the trash with inadequate tools. The problem is the muck that a few bad apples decide to post. We should demand that the providers of such sites work to keep the content appropriate for schools. I think your points are valid. It raises several questions.
