"Out of clutter, find simplicity.
From discord, find harmony.
In the middle of difficulty, lies opportunity."
-Albert Einstein
“The digital outcast is not somebody who doesn’t have access to the technologies; s/he is somebody who, after the access has been granted, fails to actualise the transformative potentials of technologies for the self or for others.”
-Nishant Shah, Research Director of the Centre for Internet and Society in India
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
-From the speech, “Citizenship in a Republic” (1910) by Theodore Roosevelt
I first saw this humorous video clip at EduTechie.com, who got it from the Cool Cat Teacher blog, and then Wes Fryer has shared it from Karen Montgomery and the list could go on! Isn’t the web great! Enjoy!

Amazing how fast we can share links now! Twitter is making this an even faster process!!!
At the speed of creativity fast! 😉 I watched all the “twittering” at the BLC conference which was fun to see (I haven’t used twitter yet, but I have students who want me to.); plus, the Skype “ChatCasts” were amazing although I didn’t try joining in. I need to get involved in all this, and I will. It is interesting to go back to the “ChatCasts” and gain some perspective on the discussions that were taking place. Thanks for your comments!
