This excerpt from the Robin Good Blog does an excellent job crossing two of my interests and it also builds fabulously on my last post. The premise is that we should allow everybody to weigh in on how to fix education and then use the crowd to sift the good ideas from the bad.

Making Sense Of New Technologies And Media: An Opinionated Digest by George Siemens - Jan.26 08: “The current issue of Forbes is focused on educating our children. Numerous experts have put forward their theories in short articles. Missing, however, are the views and opinions of teachers, parents, and students. While the commentaries of prominent people will obviously gain more attention, I think more wisdom is likely to be found in educators in the trenches. Better yet, host a ’submit your view of education’ session on YouTube. Then allow the network to filter the best ideas. Or host the discussion in a wiki. Don’t tell us how to fix education. Involve us in fixing education.”
