We purchased new textbooks and choose the ones that where most like our old ones so there would not be so much change...is there any irony in this? I like you concept of purchasing notebooks for the school. I work in a middle school and I need help in selling the idea to my administration of purchasing notebooks. There are many excuses...They are too small, they are too fragile, they cost too much overseas compared to north america, we don't have the tec support...but the biggest one would be they would not be used or used incorrectly because there has to be training (another cost factor) Do you have a top 10 list of reasons why the notebooks would be so good for our school which I could share with the administration team.

I had the privilege of having my whole family over and i've been trying to explain to them the whole web 2.0 and its impact on education. I think it finally helped them to get it. As I helped my sons through their one hour of drill and kill math homework tonight I kept thinking back to how much I hope they have a teacher like Darren in their life someday. Thanks for all you do to spread the "gospe" of authentic learning. @Wes
