Hey Vergil,
Interesting theory. I don’t think I’d consider Twitter the electronic equivalent of a composition book. Your description of using your notebook almost inspires me to carry one around too. Ironically (I do hope this is the correct time to use that word), “On Keeping a Notebook” left me feeling less inclined to keep a notebook than your blog.

And for whatever reason, I feel like the “bursts” you refer to are symptoms of ADD/ADHD. I might just be neurotic.

Thanks, Wolfman-K.
As far as having an “insightful comment,” I don’t think that’s entirely necessary…that came a bit later on your comment that educators need to continue to be thinking. Having said that, I wish they had more time to think about things that matter.
Peace.

I feel like I should have some sort of insightful comment to put here.

But I’m not trained in education, at all, in fact I dare say I wasn’t even trained by education. I’m still trying to wrap my head around the concepts you layed out.

But I found it interesting, insightful, and something I wish more educators were thinking about.

Challenging the traditional model, in anything is a necessary exercise, even if it is just in your head.

An excellent read Chris, got me thinking.
