Yesterday I was a dog. Today I'm a dog. Tomorrow I'll probably still be a dog. Sigh! There's so little hope for advancement.
~ Charles M. Schulz

Sigh....my thinking continues to live in a dichotomy of vivid contrast with support from an online community and a backlash from those who think schooling is learning and vice versa. Listening to Anne Mirtschin's The World is My Classroom with emphasis on global communication and just-in-time learning as well as the zany, fun and very authentic self-directed community learning in ds106 courtesy of Jim Groom and Tom Woodward provides a desired perspective. When Learning becomes an event (Andy Mckiel), it really does reflect nature's course and playing in public (George Couros) offers incredible feedback for further reflection and change. The K12online conference is off and running - and a great platform for thinking about learning....and they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks! :) Naples, FL
