Would any one be interested in posting informational at the source watch "topic" Educational Commons? Here's the web address: http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=Education_commons
... presently there is no information. Also if there was a link from that page to our Coming Together site that would help increase traffic to this site. |

I read that John Craig has an interest in Digital Divide, isn't he working on something called the Third Sector? One aspect of the commons is "sharing", something that WE is really into by the way. I think Craig might be comfortable with that concept. There are a number of concerns, one is technology - with technology can come the question of ownership, "market based education" is driven by the need to own it, because that’s how markets work. That’s a real problem with the introduction of education as just another technology transfer platform. I like the analogy of the public library, for me that and public education go hand in hand. The public library in this country has a long history but as technology creeps into the sharing aspects of education and libraries, we need to look for allies that agree with the concept of public as opposed to "private" (read corporate/markets) and also maybe tying it to democracy might have staying power. The public library systems in this country I feel are a natural ally. ... your thoughts? |
