09:20 dhammond : How do we balance the "we must collaborate" message with expelling students over facebook study groups?

 09:22 dhammond : Applause!!!

 09:23 siderside : Are you an Alan November fan?

 09:25 dhammond : Yes, I agree with many of his messages. BTW, I was applauding the message. Teach teachers pedagical approaches, not which buttons to push.

 09:27 siderside : Yes, the button pushing is a lot easier than chaning the mindset of teachers. I love how Alan pokes fun at the narrow focus of American education.
