Croquet Party Photos
Sandee posted some photos from our croquet party on Shutterfly. I hope to have some wedding photos uploaded soon. We're also putting together photos to get printed into a photo book, probably from winkflash.com. If anyone knows of other better photo book printing services, please drop me a comment. We've looked at Shutterfly, iLife, and a few others, but like the large format that winkflash offers.

Less Than Two Weeks
In two weeks we're getting married. Funny how the "I" turns to "we." It's a wondrous thing to be part of we. She's sleeping now, but will awake soon, so my time is brief. She's beautiful, she's smart, she's full of emotion. We're getting married on the 17th in Montague Mass at a place you can't find, full of books you don't need.

Shifting Ed Paradigm
Will Richardson recently blogged about the "Learner as Network." This post captures the essence or the paradigm shift which Web 2.0 tools enable for the educational world. In reference to schools, he says "We are still about control, not sharing. We are still about distribution, not aggregation. We are still about closed content rather than open. We are static, not fluid. The idea that each of our students can play a relevant, meaningful, important role in the context of these networks is still so foreign to the people who run schools...it is only by practicing these skills, whether teachers or students, that they can truly be learned. " One of the commenters on this post, Judy Connell, says, "Spot on! In fact, there is a bit of urgency around all this - we are really into a digital renaissance! Students have told us that as educators we “just don’t understand” what their socially networked life is really like. We need to stop and ask students about this world. "
