Your last sentence is of course correct, but you wouldn't know it by reading many of the often praised and quoted US edublogs. Some that I'm thinking of have attracted your ire in the past. For example, when people drag out ideas like standardised tagging and hold up inquiry learning as something new (although Web 2.0 does add new possibilities in my mind) when many education systems worldwide have practiced these more learner centred methodologies since the 1970's, then the message going out to "us in the rest of the world" is that the only important ideas and issues in the world of ed-tech to be discussed are US based. That's why this particular view of Stephen's resonates with me. <BR/><BR/>My apologies if this comment is unclear.Graham Wegnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17303319509348129453noreply@blogger.com
