Inside Teaching--Carnegie Foundation Archive. This is a promising new teaching resource for K-12 teachers sponsored by the Carnegie Foundation, "a living archive of practice." (Thanks to Chris Correa and Stephen Downes for this reference.)_____JH _________ "Visit collections of multimedia records of teaching practice. Learn from others' perspectives on using records of practice for teacher learning. Contribute your own teaching and learning experiences and browse materials and resources that reflect the larger context of the work featured here. This site itself is an environment of learning, a "living archive" that relies upon the contributions of visitors in order to grow and to thrive. " "At the heart of Inside Teaching is the challenge to capture the wisdom of practice. Here K-12 teachers and teacher educators document their practice, reflect on their teaching and build on each other's work. On their multimedia records of teaching practice, you can find videos of teaching, examples of lesson plans, practitioner reflections and narratives, images of student work, and many other documents of teaching and learning. You can search these individual websites by grade level, subject area and by name." _________ Chris Correa - Inside Teaching - Chris's Notebook. Interesting. Chris Correa reports, "The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has put together a living archive for teachers and teacher educators to document their work via text, video, and images."

From now on, "the next big thing" will not mean great technology; it will mean whichever online entity can come up with the most "viewers." If that means the content is at the bottom of the intelligence barrel, you won't hear investors complaining and you will see a lot of copycats. But what you won't see are inventive twenty-somethings putting their skills toward coming up with innovative technology to change our lives. Of course the same dynamic applies to all modes of sausage content production, including Ephraim's and mine and, according to Dave Winer, our Business 2.0 colleagues: ...
