First, thanks to those who participated in the Webinars yesterday. Good to meet some of you. Even better to get a sense of where people are in education. Lots of you are not in k-12 settings, and I think that current HC students need to know about your backgrounds and what your journeys have been like. Try to be there to share on September 24.
Still waiting for responses to yesterday's question of the day. I want to see at leas one response before I give my own.
A couple more questions were generated yesterday, and I want to put them out there:
1. How do we work to give students 24/7 access to education without abdicating our responsibility as educators to teach and assess learning?
2. How are teacher prep programs addressing the changes that are happening as a result of Khan Academies and other on-line learning sites?
3. Why doesn't k-12 education interact better with higher ed?
4. Are we teaching prospective teachers enough about the "soft skills" teachers need? What are these essential skills? How do we make sure that these are taught?
5. How can we best help people network within their own interests (k-12, higher ed, industry, non-profits, etc)?
6. How do we get everyone to embrace data more, especially when it informs us of what we need to do better?

I am still holding out for others to respond before I do.
