[WikiEducator] Phil's Rants

Rant for this weekend is whether or not the WikiEducator community is really a community or not, or is the term just a means of making us feel good about ourselves? See: http://www.wikieducator.org/User:Philbartle#Phil.27s_Rants If the coach does the pushups, The athlete will not get stronger

I think that Wayne is right to be concerned abut the UNV OV copyright page. To my mind, however, it refers to only things that are put on their site, and that would include our ads to recruit volunteers (They are fussy about how we word them). I tried to use their logo (a rather boring one

[WikiEducator] Using UNV Online Volunteering

[WikiEducator] Can Educators Learn?

[WikiEducator] What is technology really providing the teacher?

As Ben said: Although technology can be a place where information is stored, I think it goes beyond that. At one level, a power law distribution is at play in that a small number of people control the majority of information (e.g., wikipedia). But more importantly, those of us along the right

[WikiEducator] rant

Jan Visser said so many important things. One that I think is very important is that we can use the education as cultivation metaphor so long as we see the garden as the whole society, not a collection of individuals one at a time. I should have made that clear in my rant. Thanks, Jan.
