Is the lesson just as you posed perhaps, that our most recent work will be that which is remembered? Perhaps communities are kinder though than the authorities that dealt with the black and white of the article at the border. Or will we over time adopt similar postures of forgive and forget within the technology as that which makes us human to begin with. Penny that’s a great question.

Believe it or not, I can still find a profile page from a deleted Xanga (like myspace) account from my daughter's junior high school days, when she was just learning what was and was not OK to put online. Nothing goes away. It just becomes part of a cache, somewhere :) Every once in awhile I google myself and my family members just to see what’s out there.

It is well worth the time to listen to the full interview with Viktor Mayer-Shonberger. The permanency of information is indeed troublesome but equally troublesome is the lack of context (especially in terms of time frame). A major complaint heard from those of us who grew up in very small towns, is that your actions (and those of your ancestors) are never forgotten. It can be difficult to grow and change, as those around you never "forget" who you were and "where you come from". It's a hard road to travel, but eventually (with twice as many good deeds as the next guy) those footprints may fade. I find it interesting to watch society as a whole, deal with challenges that are part of culture in small rural communities. I wonder what lessons can be shared? Cindy,

Sun, 12 Apr 2009 21:05:53 +0000 http://blog.tech4learning.ca/?p=210#comment-5991 Thanks for the shout out here in regards to PLNs. One thought that really resonated with me was "Rather than leaving the school for professional development “classes”, each teacher creates a personalized plan with goals and objectives that are supported through his/her PLN. The communal time can be used to share learnings." This thoughtful insight could go one step farther. Why not facilitate "anytime, anywhere" asynchronous discussions via wikis or other social networking tools such as Ning? The synchronous communal time can be valuable, too. Focused professional learning communities (for more on PLCs, http://www.sedl.org/change/issues/issues61.html) are being implemented in forward-moving districts. In a way PLCs and PLNs should/could be working hand-in-hand.
