What Jena Six says about the racial divide.

The TCRecord has an interesting article: Small Town, Big Issues: What the Jena Six Case Says about the American Racial Divide. I think its worth a read.

Family wedding...

I was gone for a while. My son Evan got married on Kauai in September. It was a very nice family gathering. I also had a great time exploring the Garden Island of Hawaii.

How Web 2.0 Savy are you?

Jeff Milne raised an interesting issue on the BSG Alliance web site.

He is thinking about how to determine someone's level of Web 2.0 awareness or maturity, and proposed a list of Web 2.0 applications/services with the idea that someone would check all that they used.

I think its the wrong concept. Do you have to use services even if they have no benefit? But his list is interesting and so is some of the discussion that followed. Take a look, you might find it worth a comment.

Virtual School Symposium
