It's much harder to create something. (Think of a sand castle, a World Trade Center building, a democracy.) As a result, public schools in general do not encourage young people to think.Maura Larkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16800561169406889185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-1156221388686250272006-08-21T21:36:00.000-07:002006-08-21T21:36:00.000-07:00http://edublogs.org/http://edublogs.org/Kristie Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307514462144293640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-1156125049716493592006-08-20T18:50:00.000-07:002006-08-20T18:50:00.000-07:00I'm standing and applauding you!I'm standing and applauding you!Onyxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05784693035912482700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-1156109611625466522006-08-20T14:33:00.000-07:002006-08-20T14:33:00.000-07:00I'm just waiting for you to get quoted out of cont...I'm just waiting for you to get quoted out of context, something like "Even respected edublogger Mr. McNamar says, the use of blogs does not have a place in the classroom because online predators might get access to these students.'" Just wait.<BR/><BR/>Last I checked, we could still get into blogger at my school, but I'm told even yahoo mail will be shut down. The not-so-bad side is that we're switching everything to gaggle.net, a school-safe site where kids can have blogs and regulared e-mail. I know, still censorship, but at least they can use the technology...sort of.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10132773.post-1156042254421880082006-08-19T19:50:00.000-07:002006-08-19T19:50:00.000-07:00At least you had the chance.
