Questions for Consideration: What do you love/hate about Twitter? Do you have any vision for the further development of this tool? How can more educators become engaged in learning about technology?

Questions for Consideration: Why do we give written tests to students? What do the tests really test? Is there a more purposeful way of assessing and evaluating learning?

Wiki... from the Hawaiian word for Fast http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/wiki I've opened my Wiki to the World following discussion on Will Richardson's blog: http://weblogg-ed.com How and when will meaningful change come to education... and what will it look like? You can help out by contributing to the 21st Century Skills pages on http://thecleversheep.wetpaint.com My contention is that teachers have to use the technologies to gain an understanding of their operation, and then they need to model the use of such tools in their personal learning. It is after this experience, that the employment of Web 2.0 tools in the classroom will make sense!

This podcast features a recording of Will Richardson s spotlight presentation at NECC 2007 titled, From Hand It In to Publish It: Re-Envisioning Our Classrooms. Will provided a thorough list of major points and links on a wiki site he created to accompany his presentation, included in the podcast shownotes. Will continues to challenge educational leaders at all levels to question the ways Schools are or are not responding to the dynamic information landscape in which we find ourselves in the early 21st century. As a noted leader in the broader educational community, as well as the narrower edu-blogger community, Will invites listeners to both envision and work toward new paradigms of learning in our increasingly connected world.
