I was surfin' the web a bit tonight and stopped back by THE TWAIN BLOG.  A recent post titled  Whale of a time!  really resonated with me...  I related to his metaphor, and I appreciate someone saying what I'm thinking--where is the divergent thinking?  I agree that the majority of blogs that I'm reading are saying the same things--and I'm totally at fault here, too...  Why is it that we can't seem to get on with it?  Move beyond the rhetoric and drive more change in the classroom.  As I spend more time on the web, which isn't much as I have a 3 year old daughter, I am astounded by the growing number of tools that are available to educators and students...  I thought that I was doing a pretty good job incorporating Web 2.0 into my curricula, but I really had no idea how many new possibilities could be leveraged by educators...  I spent some time today on slideshare--wow!  I happened upon a website by Marta Z. Kagan... self-proclaimed social media evangelist--take a look how social media is influencing the world outside of education...

So I guess I'm wondering, what's next? Where do we go from here?  How do we move the conversation along so that more educators and students are benefiting from the dialog?
