Ohio

Okay - I finally did it. I flew to Ohio. I went to Columbus and I finally saw Nikki's house. Beautiful. And then we went to the Columbus Ohio Jazz and Rib Festival. Now I'm taking the Ashland College History and Government Class - About the founding of the Constitution. Interesting. Sure we were told those guys argued, but man oh man, some of the arguments used to justify getting people to take their sides, amazing. It is remarkable that we have a government such as this. Well - off to the evening session. Yippee.

Visuality

I am in the process of narrowing down my research question and I keep thinking - what is the big technological change that I am noticing? Well I can't put my finger on it yet, but I know it has a lot to do with how information is presented, manipulated and learned. How is the teacher's role in all of this changing too? Standards, benchmarks, earmarks and testing - where does all of that fit in? Is traditional learning/teaching out the window?
