Comment on: Topic 'Platforms of Resilience for Non-profit education in a For-profit world': r-profit universities, I think not-for-profit universities need to learn to be more adaptive, more flexible and open in terms of access and availability.

Comment on: Topic 'Teacher, can I friend you on Facebook?': "class" in reality & on-line at the same time. I beleive in manners and respect (an old-school belief), to my children I am "dad," my friends may use my first name, I prefer my students and people I don't know to call me Mr. Madsen. Familiarity breeds contempt. I use social networking and I am expanding how I use it, my experience so far: * Facebook - friends & relatives, people who are (or were) in my social circles during my life; won't "friend" anyone I don't know directly (won't add friend-of-friend unless referal comes too) * Linked-In - professional network, former colleagues I've had direct experience working with and whom I respect in their professional behavior / career path; occassional (but rare) overlap with Facebook friends; have used for job searching * Ning - new to this service; private network option is wonderful! Member of my Corporate Library Group (nationwide spread so this is ideal for us) happy to apply "limits" to who joins & when I can't see expanding my social networking too extensively because I am not a fan of multiple-multitasking and, frankly, I like to "unplug" and enjoy reality without an electronic tether... For all the "immediacy" of current business practice, unless the field is medicine, most stuff is simply "not that important"…; Added by Leif Madsen at 2:20pm on February 4, 2010

Comment on: Topic 'Stanford Universtiy undergrads lookng for advice': in time notes. Creating a background for every new page is time consuming and frankly rather annoying. I try to stay add visual interest in my lessons to take advantage of IWB technology. Lesson plan galleries such as in prometheanplanet.com are great resources. Expanding this type of resource would be helpful. Thanks for your efforts!…; Added by Heidi at 9:01pm on February 10, 2009

Comment on: Topic 'Importance of education in the society': ally do not make much income. It is easy to be accepting when you feel very secure but when you see others as competition it is not so easy. The key to getting people to see education in a positive light is to get them to understand that the more education a population has the more they can expand their economy which is good for everyone (except corrupt dictators and their friends).…; Added by Deborah J.

Topic: Revisiting the conversation: model an evening gathering of parents and educators to use the distilled format and continue the conversation. I'm curious how the roadshow has played out in other communities and how you might suggest we help support the conversation here.
