About this blog... I want to say that while I love having readers, that is not the most important thing for me about blogging. This is almost an internal conversation I am having in a very public way. I welcome and appreciate your comments, ideas, criticisms, and readership.
This blog is primarily about how culture and technology come together over the space we call 'learning.' It covers a lot of ground but the overarching theme (at least in my mind if not always evident) is how these new technologies, methodologies and ideas can be used to create a richer world of learning.

Hi Mark,
I ran across your technology and educational blog, which is very interesting for educational purposes and I decided to write this email. I work in a TV/internet media company based in Los Angeles and we recently launched an education website. http://www.studio4learning.tv has 2000+ free video clips on middle school & high school topics. We’re looking for feedback from individual teachers plus schools that would be interested in testing the site for us in terms of integrating it into lesson plans, homework etc. and giving us suggestions on how to make it more usable for teachers, students & parents.
Would love to hear your thoughts on the site.
Best,
Boris
