I agree with you but the process of ending poverty and hunger, is not as easy as it may seem to you. There is really no way for everybody to be equal in economy. Still it is disturbing to see people who really dont have anything but are still happy to be alive, while on the other hand we have much more demands and are not as thankful as we should be...

Looking for The Richness Within (TRW)
Each of the six TRW trails will persue answers to a question posed by a high school class. There are six questions in all.
Vist the Richness Within Blog. Feel free to leave a comment.
This trail starts with the TRW2 Question: How does our appearance determine our place in society?
For example you might start by asking and answering some preliminary questions such as: When is Dress important? When is language or speech (such as regional or foreign accent, use of slang, profanity, etc.) important? In what situations are physical attributes (such as weight, body shape, height, nose, lips, eyes, physical handicap, appearance of illness or wellness, etc.) important?

Blog Hopping! What a concept! Thank you Nancy Brodsky. Where will we go today? Let's start hopping through the blogosphere.
How to teach our children well is the quest we are all on by participating in the New York City Writing Project “Steal this Internet” Spring Technology Retreat. There is an underlying assumption that if we enter the exciting Web 2.0 world filled with such toys as Google Docs, del.icio.us, Bloglines, podcasting, wikis, blogs, and photo sharing tools like Flickr that we will use them, embrace them, and eventually integrate them into the classroom routines. There is so much to manage. As teachers we all need time out of time for our own growth–a kind of white space.
Sierra wrote: “[R]eal learning takes place between exposures to content! Long-term memory from learning happens after the training. The space between the lessons and practice is where the learning is made permanent. If we don’t leave that space, new content keeps rushing in to overwrite the previous content, before the learner’s brain has a chance to pause, reflect, and synthesize the proteins needed for long-term memory storage.”
There are implications here for school teachers like myself. I have tried to pack too much into my class periods, this I am guilty of. To restructure in order to find the places for the spaces is the challenge I continually face.
This afternoon I found myself with a small group of teachers and one former graduate who returned to hang out. We were relaxing eating lunch and swapping “war” stories about the first year of our school. We were laughing heartily and longing for the “good old days”—five years ago—when we had time to be together for learning, collaborating, and just plain enjoying each other’s company. Teachers need more “white space” in the day to enjoy each other’s company and also to digest the experiences of teaching.

Starting a new thread here on the topic of collective intelligence. Mainly, I'm interested in understanding more about how to teach collaborative writing in a wiki.
This seems to be the mother ship of collective intelligence.

Here are some communications devices designed especially to help people with handicaps. How good are they? By studying these devices, what can we learn about the kinds of difficulties people have? I invite you to leave thoughtful comments to open up a discussion about adaptive devices for the handicapped.

"We need to investigate whether distractions in wireless classrooms might be to blame. Have we compared the scores of school districts investing modestly versus heavily in technology, adjusting for factors like household income, to see if our digital classrooms make any difference?"

With the introduction of tagging in Web 2.0 tools I became excited about the infinite possibilities for classifying bits of information. I thought: "a dream come true." But now I am concerned by the ever expanding uniqueness of my terms and am drawn to learn more about taqxonomy, ontology, and folksonomies. I must confess, that as a folklorist, I consider folksonomy to be categories that are grounded in communities of members who understand the ways of the group. I wonder what the bloggers are saying. I wonder how they are thinking about folkonomies.

I'm not sure how to research this question. This will be a challenge, indeed.
