I had an earlier title that used "backward" instead of "forward" but I changed that because I was being influenced by a lack of information as to what the schools, district and provinces policies, guidelines etc were on the subject of social websites and how studnets can use technology in the classroom. I would love to participate in any advisory committee on the subject of IT integration into the classroom. Jeannine,

We can always use advocates of "forward thinking".

Which is sad, because there is so much potential lost. But there is also no way to convince a person like that teacher, at least, not until a computer becomes a part of her daily life and she sees. But it won't. I think that george and I are both aware that we are designing educational startegies for the next generation of children, not the current one.
