Hmmm....new learnings! One thing I have learned is that I really need more hours in the day! I can lose a couple of hours playing with Stumble! and finding such awesome sites for both me and kids to use. Fonts, brushes, and textures, oh my! Drawing tools, photography, museums...even programming sites simple enough for a child to use.
I love the reinforcement of the importance of the arts on an education and for success after high school. Daniel Pink and others stress the creative side of the brain....and that an MFA will become as essential to business as an MBA.
Education is about more than tools, textbooks and tests...it is about creating knowledge and student learning. Education is about facilitating student discovery, not teacher directed delivery. Education is about the tools that make that learning engaging including Web 2.0 and Marzano.
While I have not yet developed an addiction to Twitter (not for lack of trying however), I have become a fan of Google Notebook and Reader and even like the look of my custom iGoogle page. Now, if it were not midnight (for the third time this week and it is only Wednesday), I would continue these thoughts....unfortunately, they will have to wait for another time.
