"I don’t thing [sic] that change is going to stop occurring, in fact, I believe it is going to accelerate – so how do we deal with that? I think one way to deal with that is to talk about it and to leverage the tools however we can to help students learn, not issue blanket statements banning their use."Read his entire post. It's time well spent! And check out his presenation in .wmv. He also posts it as an .mp3 and .ppt with permission to modify and use. "As with Did You Know, you are welcome to use it or modify it in any way you see fit if you think it will help with conversations in your schools – or elsewhere."
Thank you, Karl! You are truly a teacher's teacher!

Lee, The Did You Know PowerPoint was used at one of the breakout sessions at last week's FAEDS Convention by a couple of teachers demonstrating blogging and wikis. Good stuff! And a good plug for Karl's site. JP
Thanks for the kind words. And thanks for pointing out the typo on my post - I'm surprised someone on my own staff didn't gleefully point that out!
When my principal showed Did You Know to parents at Back To School Night, we decided to take the "Size Matters" slide out, but left in Shift Happens - no complaints (so far).
Karl,
All the members of our team really liked the humor (and power) of keeping those references in, but as I said in my original post, the PC game is a little too important to those who make the big bucks in our district.
