McBloglin

I am spending entirely too much time this week enjoying my RSS feeds and direct delivery of comments that are filling my inbox. Fascinating “debate” going on at http://weblogg-ed.com/ where Will Richardson has hit several hot buttons. I sifted out 3 key points: the frustration of the converted in trying to understand why everybody doesn’t get it and use Web 2.0 tools exclusively, some name-calling between the bloggers and the academics (bloggers are winning that by sure numbers, obviously…it’s a blog), and a few tentative notes by teachers and administrators who are down in the trenches, trying to be agents of change amongst the realities of bandwidth, RFP’s for hardware, cranky images, creaky AUP’s, parent councils, EBDM’s and sometimes yard duty. I’m in that little group of reality-pushers. Between that debate and all of its jump-outs, and the Ryerson thing, my head is spinning. So I thought I’d share an interactive game, that I came across when I was roaming around the TED lectures. Enjoy! http://www.etchy.org/single.php There is also a LightBrite sim, but I didn’t Del.cio.us it and I have to get out of this chair and go ski or something!
