21st Century Learning
http://21stcenturylearning.typepad.comof what you are learning. Like our heating and cooling system they should be invisible. The only time we focus on our heating and cooling is when they aren't working properly. Then we have to focus on the tool itself and decide why it isn't working. Even Bill Fitzgerald (Funny Monkey) after his discussion on Open Source tools left the attendees with the idea of forgetting the tool- focusing instead on what you want kids to know and be able to do- then figuring out the right task and tool for the job to help kids achieve their goal.

Waves in the Blogsphere
http://bartosworld.blogspot.com/2008/06/waves-in-blogsphere....reading the article, I noticed a reference in the article to a blogging site I had not heard of: drupal-ed, so I clicked a link to check it out. I found a small description which was sort of the "front door" of DrupalEd, but there was also a link to Bill's Blog and I wanted to see what this site was like.

http://ised-l.blogspot.com/2008/02/re-continuing-discussion-...source documentation -- for example, the Drupal handbooks have comparable terms, although they recognize the entire handbook as a community entity: http://drupal.org/node/14307 RE: "P.S.
