Forget Answers. Just Paying Attention.

I have hundreds of reasons NOT to blog (actively, 'at all', generally, on the fly,...) these days.  Most of the reasons rhyme with "I'm happily working with my students" or "I'm just digging being a father and a husband" or "Fresh air ain't such a bad thing" or "It was never about the technology".  Regrets are few and far between.

That being said, I may not be blogging much (save for keeping Beckett's grandparents up-to-date on the little fella's latest rocking and rolling), but I AM paying attention.  A brilliant case in point: 

God bless Michael Wesch and his Kansas State students for reminding us that asking the right essential questions will remain infinitely more valuable today/tomorrow than sparring over the supposed arguments and expert-driven answers. 

Thanks to Mr. Lehmann for keeping my radar tuned in, too.  Want to learn more about Wesch's latest video and related project(s)?  Here you go!

Yep we've noted your notable absence. Culture shock or sheer enjoyment --can't decide for sure what you are feeling. Hope the 180 degree career change is rewarding finally. I'm sure it was a shock to the system at first. This post finally sounds like maybe its coming a wee bit easier. After all, your radar is picking up the experts again, like your pal Lehmann. Keep up the good work, and think about how much you'll be able t reflect on at Spring break and Sumer vacation.

Guess I am not the only one that has noticed your absence! :-) I saw this earlier and LOVED it! I want it at school, so am trying to run it around our firewall. Fun, fun!

Enjoy the rest of your week!

We're still thinking about you. :)

Glad to hear from you! Hope the year back with students is going well.

I saw another one of these videos on Hypertext and thought it was fantastic. I wonder if anyone in the UK is doing this sort of research?

I wanted to pass this video on to my superintendent but knew the YouTube version would be blocked. Found it on Teacher Tube, that might help Cathy.
