Blessed beyond measure 8/25/19

I was blessed beyond measure today.Jesus said "Give, and it will be given to you. A good measure, pressed down, shaken together and running over, will be poured into your lap. For with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Luke 6:38I took my disabled brother Kim to see Lion King tonight after he'd come home from 7 weeks of hospital stay and skilled nursing recuperation. It was good to be back to "normal" with him and I could tell that he really enjoyed himself. It made my day to see…See More

The Gun

I served as a seaman in the U.S. Navy during the Vietnam war from January ’69 to November ‘70.  My first ship was the U.S.S. New Jersey BB-62.  I had been flown out to the U.S.S. Ranger CV-61 aircraft carrier from Subic Bay on a mail plane.  The Ranger was “on station” in the Tonkin Gulf and it was a way station of sorts to get personnel out to the ships in the fleet…See More

According to Thomas Friedman "what we learn today in school will be outdated by tomorrow, and therefore, the most successful people in the 'flat world' will be those who can adapt and learn quickly. The greater our curiosity and passion for learning, the greater chances we will have for success later in life" (O’Neal, 2006)

Are Professional Learning Communities the Future of Education?

I believe that distributed professional learning communities will be the next major frontier in education. Because of the complexity, size and growth of the emerging global knowledge base, individual solutions to market, ecological, political, economic, health and other critical problems will require the best combined thought of socially interactive thinkers. Problems are going to be too big and developing too fast for individual researchers to solve. Some of the most advanced manufacturers… Continue

Ning Pros and Cons
To begin with an analogy, a ning is like a fraternity house where there are common living areas but also each resident has his own customized bedroom which he can decorate (or not) to his heart’s content. He can use any theme or props to develop his bedroom culture and he can invite or restrict any and all visitors. At the same time, he can go into the common areas and engage people there (or not) subject to the general culture of the house.
Nings seem to be about this interplay between public and private spaces and interactions. Nings enhance dialogue with their threads and interest forums. Nings hold on to individual contributions even if they are not embraced by other participants. They seem more naturally true to an actual conversation that two or more people might have. Whereas a vocal conversation must be held within the minds of the participants, nings keep track of conversations textually and graphically and hold them up for all to see and recall. They can even link different conversations and synthesize new thoughts from them. The inherent structure of a ning is conversation. Content flows out of the contributions that the conversation brings about.
People seem to like the autonomy that nings provide. I can build a personal network of conversation about the topics that are most important to me, yet have the structure and organizing support of a generalized ning above and around me. I’m tied to a general audience by common ideas and preferences, but I can also create my own thought and social space. Nings also allows you to design your group (forum) any way you want with features that usually differ from other groups. Ning facilitates unrestricted movement off of and onto the site to other locations like blogs or wikis. You can even export these features to other outside websites (slideshows) and make portals (badges) that direct potential members to your ning from outside the site. Ning tools and apps are like those of a fine woodworker: exacting, elegant, and well thought –out. Ning’s goal seems to be to expand its social network off their site and out into the Web. They want Ning = Web in the user’s mind.
