Since I'll be in Chicago in a few days to visit my wife's family for the holidays (oh, and to see how Beckett handles real snow as a born-n-raised Texan), thought I'd begin to touch base with a few 'virtual' allies who might want to do coffee off-line. Irony.
Grabbing Lucy Gray's email address from her blog tonight (after connecting with David Jakes), I came across a recent SlideShare presentation of hers that did decent work of integrating the recent Pew studies re: emerging technologies and how it might impact how 'dem kidz learn deese daze' [my emphasis added, BTW].
And much, much more! Lots of familiar ideas that still are worth re-working in the brain space every chance I get.
And then I came to slide 58 (of 60) of her presentation. And the business guru Peter Drucker quotation Lucy appropriately adds as a closing shot across the bow:
Mind the gap!
Hey Christian -
Hope we can meet up while you're in town.
To be completely fair, I morphed a lot of my slides from NCSEA from Pew slides, and I think the Peter Drucker quote came from there as well. Look around here for various versions of the Pew presos: http://www.pewinternet.org/PPF/r/198/report_display.asp.
I also have a lot of the sites mentioned in the preso bookmarked in del.icio.us under the tag NCSEA.
As you would say... cheers!!
