Inspiring this moment...

It seems the inspiration is being sucked out of our minds with the happenings of systemic fallout within our own walls.

Kevin Honeycutt's three tweets tonight got me thinking...[thank you!]

1)I'm calling them learning networks rather than social networks so some don't fear we're socializing!
2)Kids will be on social networks, whether we are or not..why not build positive ones?
3)They are bionic (showed my age) environments that can empower engaged learning


I am reminded of the 2004 Keynote at T+L in Denver and how inspiring it was to hear Ken Robinson in person. I posted and shared his Ted Talks video with my last Kal-Tech team during our May 16, 2007 final team meeting at FHSU. I am constantly amazed at how much I can learn. It becomes more clear to me that information is always new even when it's old. This post only 5 days old...
I can now go back to a mentor at my school and explain to them in a mature manner why i left. I am so close to graduating but my school system is dragging me down. This lecture taught me so much and gave true expression to my views on education. This man is a visionary and has the proper ideas. For once an adult sees the value in youth. Thank you!

Why does it have to be so difficult??

Are we listening to our peripheral voices out here? Are we choosing to ignore them.
