Update on Teacher Anthony, the "Enlightened Grad School Drop-Out"

I posted earlier about Anthony’s epiphany - that the edublogosphere and www generally offer better learning, and for free, than his US $2,000/term graduate program in educational technology - and his decision to opt out. [Clarification: Anthony didn't really say he was "dropping out" of grad school. He said he was stopping for a while to get a better education elsewhere.]

Anthony just wrote me to share that he’s taken the plunge and started his own journey in edublogging. He’s the first teacher in my school to do that - too cool.

Say hello to this middle school / high school social studies teacher (and former college basketball player - I love being eye to tie-clip with him in the hallways) at his new blog, The Paradigm Shift. We all remember how lonely it was at first.

Welcome aboard, Anthony.

If you like this post, please spread it: (But don't tag it "education." That will bury it.)

Clay,

Thanks for the publicity Clay. When I checked my site today I had five comments from other people welcoming me to the club! I am truly enjoying the character of people in this community.
