Yes, This I believe.  This I enact.  Our greatest hope is in blending the ages together online, joining together in this adventure, coming into the next human age, the era of online connectedness.  Forging our way...   so much more powerful when we share the venture. 

What do you think about what Howard Gardner is saying?  Have you read the book?

Interesting, my interpretation about this is integration! Social integration not just through technology but also with people around us for building knowledge base and not reinventing!
We must re look into these values and involve, inculcate and make them habits in our classrooms.
Trying to read and understand this book! Long way to go.....

I like his re-take of the classical values. Taking Truth, beauty and goodness as three central orientations really prevents education from becoming trivialised. And taking up a relational, mentoring stance connects positively with the modern relation-centred students.

(I've skimmed the book: Kindle version, and found it very impressive - but haven't been deeply into it yet. And until Kindle allow me to read again on my old mac, or give me page numbers in the cloud reader, I may not do the deep reading for a while.)

That's also from Truth, Beauty, and Goodness: Reframed by Howard Gardner.  The point he's making here is something I think about all the time.  "...we have little precedent on which to draw."  

So--what are we learning?  What works?  What are some examples of how to move in the right direction?
