I think teachers and students are attuned to the developmental curve of traditional reading and writing, but possibly don't transfer that to the new practices. Good question, Dean.

My high school students didn't know Ira Glass but their reaction was positive and they had a good class discussion. I also showed them Jack Black's acceptable.tv tutorial on "How to Edit". They thought he was hilarious. Result: they became more aggressive about editing and splicing clips together over and over again. I'll be showing these clips to another group of students in the fall. They might be good for other teachers to use as well. Andrew Clay,

I think it says that as teachers begin to change their teaching, especially using technology to change the learning environment (teaching in general ought to be considered 'creative') , that you should keep your standard in mind, but realize that you might not always measure up to your own standard... and as long as you strive toward it you are on the right path. Simpler still . . . don't give up. I saw this yesterday and thought about what it means to teachers in a different way.
