10/6/2011 8:37:29John T. SpencerWill We Fall Behind?This was the debut post of Spencer's absolutely brilliant "Tom Johnson's Adventures in Pencil Integration". The year is 1897 and Tom Johnson is a fairly new teacher; in reading his exploits trying to introduce 1:1 pencils, we engage in a pitch perfect Swiftian commentary on contemporary computing, social media, and 21st century life within and without the classroom.Shelly Blake-Plock@TeachPaperlesshttp://pencilintegration.blogspot.com/2010/01/will-we-fall-behind.html

This post gets to the heart of tech criticism but then turns it upside down. Miguel Villegashttp://pencilintegration.blogspot.com/2011/07/daddy-what-are-you-doing-my-daughter.html

10/7/2011 7:57:57Co Laborate & ShareTwitterWhen I entered the blogosphere I was first enthralled and then confused by the sheer abundance of blogs and bloggers. I tried to catch up and stay updated - but without success. Pretty frustrating. But the writings on Twitter actually helped me out. First it added to the confusion but then I learned to handle the fact that it's not important to have read it all and that it, actually, is a benefit not knowing all kinds of stuff - and I relaxed and took all in I met. I've met so much wit, wisdom and knowledge. I've been inspired by so many interesting people - not knowing the same but different kinds of stuff. Participating in the crowd of knowledgeable people is inspiring every day and it fuels my own writing, thinking and sharing back.Ove Christensenoveucsjtwitter.com

10/7/2011 9:18:15Stephen DavisEducation Blogosphere VarietyDavis often reminds us of the nuance and paradox inherent in 21st Century learning. Sometimes it is comical (the post reminding us that lazer discs and WebQuests didn't radically transform learning). This post reminds us to broaden our perspective as we build a PLN. John T.

10/10/2011 12:24:01John SpencerHow I Learned to Shut UpI am almost 65 and still consider myself an alien on planet technology, so I haven´t really followed educational blogs, but I noticed one that expresses my beliefs. ¨Del dicho al hecho hay largo trecho¨ (Easier said than done, I fear, but I´m trying.) Especially in ESL, but also in other subjects, I think we need to let the students do more planning and speaking. Teaching is, I think, the best way to learn. As the student teaches he/she retains much more in long-term memory, so most of us as classroom teachers need to learn to shut up.Ann Bruce de Pinedaalovellbhttp://coopcatalyst.wordpress.com/2011/06/29/how-i-learned-to-shut-up/
