(Actually, not my main concern.) It is the elitist role of so-called democratic education advocates and/or the definition of "experts".<br /><br />Or, for that matter, why are not these folks in link below invited to this venue - who really have a conversation into this policy-blah-blah- add-tech-to make-us-relevant conversation: <br /><br />http://www.thedailyriff.com/2010/08/want-to-know-whats-really-happening-in-education-now.php - <br /><br />Not that this is "the list' - where are the voices of those without a direct<br />play to their bank account in education? <br /><br />If we are talking about innovation, it's not exactly a stellar list of innovators (or anyone who ever bootstrapped in any way) in the National Journal list and we know where everyone stands. Snore-bore. Ravitch and Russo are the rabble-rousers of late yet they too are in the edu-club - where are the other voices? - Russo lately has been cranky w/ group-think more than usual and has made him more of an interesting read, but the National Journal thing is one big press release over and over again. Then we have TVA who holds the strings and we all hold breath as to innovation<br /><br />This whole idea of "experts" is so over.CJ Westerberghttp://www.thedailyriff.comnoreply@blogger.com
