How to Reasonably Discuss Controversy
Yesterday, I made an entry in this blog regarding Web 2.0 (actually, a couple of entries). Today, I received an update that Wes Fryer has a new podcast today on the very same topic. Although I haven’t had a chance to listen to it yet, I think that the fact it is being discussed points out that we, as educators, need to move forward carefully.
Today, I received a Merlot update on an RSS feed that I subscribe to and as I was looking into some new entries, I saw one that caught my eye entitled “Framework for Addressing Educational Issues.” I went to the site and found some very insightful material there. I would recommend to anyone to visit that site and follow the methodology presented there for allowing a meaningful discussion on a very controversial subject with educational circles.
Another link that is interesting is edTechNOT.com, a site where controversy is discussed (both sides) regarding educational issues. It’s worth looking at.
