Wes,

Write the book. I’ve always thought you had the right attitude towards technology and education. It’s hard to keep the focus on the kids and freeing their voices when you have to figure out how to make, say, Voicethread embed into a blog but you’re impressive at that. Your opinion is one that deserves a wider, non-blog audience.

Wes be careful that “corporation” may own the title to your book under the intellectual property clause, now that you have used it on “their” time. Be careful, but have some fun with it. – Harold

Hey Wesley,

In the playground in Australia if you ‘bags’ something first then it is yours no matter what! So if you ‘bags’, “Here for the Learning Revolution” then as far as this continent goes… it is yours

cheers

Wesley,

Although I understand where you are coming from when you say this is not an inevitable future, I think that the Revolution has begun and that you will indeed see the traditional model crumble. I believe that we are in the Cold War era where the ‘control and coercion’ walls are up… but digital information transcends these barriers. There are too many of us that are ‘here for the learning revolution’ and so it isn’t the inevitability that is in question, but rather the speed of the transition. I’m all for a quick revolution rather than years of reform.

Write the book! I will read it:-)

Just remember this Wes, there IS life after corporate restructuring. Believe me, I have recent experience in this lovely life event. And the title? Duly noted.
