If I were to formulate a definition, it would go something like this . . . This takes us full-circle back to - C u. Wecome to the first of my many rantings and ravings about curriculum and its purpose.

http://leannemerkowsky.blogspot.com/2009/04/goomoodleikiog.html
Jumping Into The Future. Attempting To Keep Up With Technology. Friday, April 3, 2009. This video presents a successful way to overcome many classroom issues - especially those surrounding group work. It combines the capabilities of googling, moodling, wikiing and blogging. The idea is wonderful, and I think it would take quite a bit of time to get things rolling, but the outcome would be well worth it. Thanks again Donna for the link! Isn't making connections great - learning from others! Spock, my hero.

http://leannemerkowsky.blogspot.com/2009/04/footsteps.html
Jumping Into The Future. Attempting To Keep Up With Technology. Wednesday, April 1, 2009. I got this title from an article by Will Richardson, in which a number of thought provoking issues were addressed. At the forefront of concern was the issue of 'self googling'. Good points Leanne. I was particularly struck by the third point about not having an identity. Dr. Couros did an excellent job about the ideas around a positive and negative digital footprint, but no footprint at all! I hadn't given it much t...
