hrheingold: In regard to critical thinking, what is Dr. Preston’s approach to using Wikipedia in th classroom?
david’s answer – a great place to start – an awful place to stop

“getting done to people” – is antithetical to open source learning..

monk51295: that’s an amazing statement in 2012, no?
monk51295: allowed to suggest things..

amazing that we are asking if it’s legal to think.. share our thinking…

another huge statement – rather than it being cheating, it’s collaborating

not about a fence.. in or out.. we’re all people

young learner vs student learner

student learner in a compulsory and toxic situation..talk about faith and trust – have no way how this will gomy 3 year old.. i now have skin on the trail
in 15 years.. if she thinks college is it.. i have failed.. certainly want it on the buffet… but not the ticket

10th amendment – states or the people

not as a critique or revolution – but because now we have the tools..

4:50 – self-directed drive will make better dr’s/pilots as well – no? [ie: check malpractice rate]

8:01 – imagine globally helping each other – true – even better – imagine them globally helping each other with the thing they can’t not do (rather than the common core, et al)
