Having sent you a long message off list, I can just add all that you have expressed here is exactly what most of us feel, what most of us strive for, what most of us share and bear in mind when in front of our students and of most f2f colleagues, who stare at, and, why not, resent our deeply rooted conviction that education has made a drastic change which they will have to adapt to and adopt if they want to belong to a new era which is already on the move.

Hello,
Very interesting proposal. I’ll look forward to GLDay, and work with you on a time.
Thanks for the interest,
Cheryl

Dear John,
I’m a young Webhead who only “speaks up” from time to time, but I feel deeply moved by especially 4 of your statements:

I absolutely agree with the idea that “the students inside your classrooms will be the leaders of tomorrow — and that what you implant into their DNA today will help them make, later, better decisions for a safer, saner world”… not to forget I’m also a teacher trainer (educator!)

I passionately believe “part of your “job” in the classroom is to broadcast the good work you do — far and wide”?

I firmly advocate “That what it needs a whole lot more of are people who can collaborate and share, be student at the same time they are teacher;” and that “what really, really, really counts is curiosity and collaboration, not cell phone and celebrity.”

I hope I can join you on Global Learn Day, sounds like an event I wouldn’t like to miss!

Gladys
PS: have you ever visited “LearningWithComputers” ()? I hope the spirit there is much the same as the one you describe here”

John,
I think you know that I am with you in spirit. As an official oldie, 71 in September, I wince a little at repeated references to “your classroom”, because I don’t have one any more. But I do what I can co-operating with people that I meet through my various lists, and by circulating information, hints, notices and appeals.
And I’m in touch with webheads, baw06, and LwC - a cluster of lists of people who are dedicated to using the internet to learn, to teach, to co-operate and to explore.

Hi, thanks for the kind words. I and I’m sure many other webheads will be happy to participate again this year in the latest GLD. Regarding the topic you raise, I’ve left a few thoughts at: http://blip.tv/file/62861 (521 kbps, 25 min)
