It took me about an hour to go through all the relevant articles and resources that came to my email today from Education Week. I hope this doesn't keep happening...
It's important to stay abreast of what's happening, of course, and helpful to rely on a publication to do the initial searching and sifting. Before the blogosphere, I would just pick one or two sources and read every issue (it was Education Week and ESchoolNews back then, I think).
"Open source" means more than "people can change it" and "free to use".
There's something also wonderful about the culture of open source organizations: the way communities form, establish norms, build systems, and induct new members, all for joy of sharing and contributing to a collective effort.
I think schools could be more like this, and this blog will be that exploration.
