Public Sticky notes
Remember, how we used to hear, that freedom and democracy may have flaws, but they are much better than any other form of government? I wonder when people stopped believing this, and how it is that they feel that a command economy is somehow better. Remember - the lessons we teach our children are based, not on the content we teach, but on how we act, how we behave. Authoritarian teachers raise dictators, even if they teach Rousseau.

The R&D activities will focus across two dimensions: how access to a wide variety of learning opportunities can best be managed in an online environment; and how technologies can be assembled to best provide seamless access to a large variety of educational resources and services. In essence, the scientific problem is one of designing an educational infrastructure based on future best practices and then developing an educational application that will work within that infrastructure.

I supposed that if I had really looked I could have found a lot more. The point
is, there is a discipline of 'new literacy' (or whatever we'll call it) forming,
and it is composed of elements such as the examples that are being shown here.
Education in this new literacy can - and must - replace the naive memory-based
retention-based fact-based text-and-test model of education that has dominated
for the last century or so. As I stated at my talk in Melbourne, one of the
problems we had over the last century was that it was too easy to get
students to learn things, to remember things - too easy to persuade them, too
easy to convince them, too easy to march them into prejudice and war
