It was so great to see you in Cambridge. Thanks for the great mini-courses at Project Zero and Future of Learning. You are contributing so much to the world of education. Your research is nothing less than VITAL to our understanding today of what's going on with the digital revolution. My hat's off to you.
Please, when you get a chance, jump in on some of the discussions here. Share your voice, your views, and some of what you're learning about young people today, ok?
And take good care of yourself, with that growing being inside of you. (How wonderful you look! You're positively beaming.)
Whew... What a learning-extravaganza the Institutes were. And you added so much to the mix!
Glad the topics are of interest... Would like to hear what you're discovering and thinking about. I think of you as being on the absolute cutting edge of what we need to know for 21st century learning. Or, the crest of the tidal wave. Oddly, though, most educators have no idea that the wave is even coming. So we need to talk about it.
Thanks for your recent note about possible networks for student use. Really appreciate it.
Hey, would you consider starting a forum now and then on this grassroots community network? Sure would appreciate your input, your participation. I know you're busy with a huge amount of research... Just know how much we'd love to hear from you.
So glad to see you here! There are a million things we should talk about. Your work is so essential to our times, for the future of learning... Keep it up! Go forth! You are a forerunner for our times. I think your research will make huge differences for the betterment of the world. The world of learning. Lead on, Pioneer!
Please share your studies as much as possible... We'll all benefit.
Let me know how this network can best support your endeavors. Any nings you want this hooked up to? Other sites?
Whenever I think of MIT and new media, I recall the long ago paper on the implications of infinite bandwidth. As it came when a 9.6kbps modem cost $150, the idea seemed so absurd. Yet here we are--nearly there.
Hope you find stuff of interest here. And find our campfire a little bit fun!
