Moving Student Blogging Beyond the Classroom: Another Look: "Unlike George Siemens who wearies of the same old conversation in spite of understanding why it must be so, I quite enjoy both conversations, and find them equally important--the long-view-changing-educational-spaces talk he embraces, and the local-work-where-people-are-at-with-these-tools-to help-them-along talk of others. Both are crucial, and not everyone need do both. "
I appreciate this perspective from Barbara. The practical work of social, technologies in classrooms will require saying the same things over and over and over again. I certainly value the work that many others are doing in developing the conversation to a sufficient crescendo to be acknowledge by policy and decision makers.
