Been mentioning it myself lately. Digestion should be slow, and we don't want to glut ourselves or our students on too many dishes at a time. I'm still trying to get my head around doing blogging, digital storytelling, podcasting, and global collaboration <i>well</i> (as opposed to just doing it). Interesting times. Yup, I’m with you.

I’m still trying to get my head around doing blogging, digital storytelling, podcasting, and global collaboration well (as opposed to just doing it).

Interesting times.

I, too, feel the need to go back. And I wasn't making time for myself to do that. I've also pulled from Sylvia's list as I begin to help formulate a vision for our school's technology integration--which has much more to do with learning than technology! Hi Bud,
Thanks for this post. I, too, feel the need to go back. And I wasn’t making time for myself to do that. I’ve also pulled from Sylvia’s list as I begin to help formulate a vision for our school’s technology integration–which has much more to do with learning than technology!

When I feel this way, I dig back into thinkers about education, and try to understand better how this new technology can be used to make these underlying theories of how people learn come alive. Seymour Papert, John Dewey, Herb Kohl, Deborah Meier, the Coalition for Essential schools, and so many others - they all have a lifetime's work about how to make learning relevant for children and connect authentic experiences to learning. They all have laid out the "lessons learned" of implementing new ideas so that we don't have to make the mistakes of the past all over again. People like this make the "why" more transparent so that it's easier to figure out the "how" without driving yourself crazy. Bud,
