Ernie : Since you are the CEO of this group you sure don't need my permission, but, yeah, great idea. Please DO contact Johnson. Seems to be a kindred spirit --and filled with useful ideas. If he is interested that could be a big plus. The information is a couple of years old, so who knows ? But well worth a try.

While polarized views of reading methodologies, filtering, DRM, Open Source, copyright/copyleft, constructivism, ebooks, computer labs, fixed schedules, Mac/PC/Linux, and the One Laptop Per Child project all make for entertaining reading and a raised blood pressure, I often wonder if radical stances actually create educational change or impact educational institutions enough to change kids’ chances of success. -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: _http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism_ (http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism) Radical Centrism website and blog: _http://RadicalCentrism.org_ (http://radicalcentrism.org/) -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org
