Can't think of a clever title... questions?

How do reflective practioners create environments where there is "infinite self-motivated learning"?

How does one balance the knowledge centered, learning centered, and assessment centered perspectives on learning environments?

If students spend 14% of their time in school (stated in How People Learn), why do we blame our society's ills on education?

When will parents be assessed in the NCLB fashion that teachers are?

How do we recruit the best when pay and work conditions leave something to be desired?

Will we outsource our educators?

When will we as a society recognize the wisdom in the words of Lee Iacocca , "In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something less, because passing civilization along from one generation to the next ought to be the highest honor and the highest responsibility anyone could have."?

How does technology promote or deter progress?

What is progress?

Is it healthy to be "connected" all the time?

My mind is on fire!

After reading the first batch of articles and viewing the map-wow that is a lot of information to take in. Upon viewing the map I thought of a great brain-storming activity- to blog/discuss depending on the environment on each trend/issue because each is worthy of a discussion that may provide insights from each person and if you could vary the stakeholders, business community, parents, students, administrators, etc what an event that would be! However the reality is that the various stakeholders do not interact in enough meaningful discussions to impact positive change. That is my current opinion. We'll see what the future holds. . .
