"Mark---are you really posting on here today? I thought this site was dead.
You need help with the idea of commons? I have a good simulation for that.

"Karen,
I can answer some things about Zotero that might help you out a bit.
First, just getting students to familiarize themselves with new technology is difficult enough. It seems to me that if students can successfully add items to their Zotero…"

"Ok, a few questions:
After having spent an hour loading zotero on the kids' computer files--each kid has their own access--and after dialoguing with the tech person (who also teaches a full course load with everyone else)--we decided it was best if…"

"Don't stew. Just start asking questions that you truly don't know the answer to. Your entry sounded like you were thinking of your completed LCP. This isn't a package that you wrap up neatly with a bow, it's a package that you start unwrapping and…"
"Shareen, you sound like you are right on track. As I understand it, you do have to present an American History lesson. But Tom will probably want to weigh in with an answer."
"I am just now figuring out what I need to do for this course and looked up this post because I have been confused by what is required. The dialogue is great and I think I have a clearer idea, but I have a problem. I am only teaching World History…"

"Eric, are all of your kids Alaska Native? If so. That's a pretty hard task. At least in my experience those kids couldn't talk because to shine or to show off your knowledge was a really bad thing. I had some success with posters around the room…"
"You are spot on Karen. And you could wait, or you could just have a flash back day! :-)"
"Mary, My response might not be the same as Tom's, but I'm thinking you should simply take ONE of your learning tasks and run with it. You have a master's degree outline here. Maybe a PhD! You can always do another learning task during the next…"
"Cindee: Please post anything that you have that would give us good graphics. I think this really helps me visualize. And yes, anything you have to share on the inquiry process would be MARVELOUS.

"I am confused about the LCP. I understand that it arises out of our burning questions, but I also thought it had to match up with the topic of the month, as well as incorporate the technology featured during that month as well. Is that correct? I…"
"I'm going to post a couple of the messages I've received from random folks so that all of you can see that you aren't alone in your questions and concerns. :-) So this is an invitation to put your questions here instead of messaging me. All will…"
"Hi Eric. Brilliant question! I am convinced more than ever if we give students spaces in classroom to dialog about their learning, they are able to internalize the knowledge in profound and indelible ways. What kind of feedback would you like and…"
"Crystal, I love the idea of teaching history using Native American stories. What grade level are you teaching? What kind of feedback would you like? I have an idea in terms of using Native American mandalas to examine Native American perspectives.…"

In All Quiet on the Western Front it was stated that "to no man does the earth mean more" and that may be hard for some of us to understand. But it means that an infantry soldier in the trenches and his whole life is defined by the dirt, med, water, and the elements. My father spent several months in the foxholes of Korea in 1952 and he talked a bit about it. I was in the Marines in 1990-94 and was deployed to the desert and spent a few nights dug into the desert sands of Saudi Arabia. It is hard for me to say that the earth and land mean less to the military man, unless he/she spends his time in a barracks and not getting out and digging in. I think Barry Lopez would have a few things to say about the geography of the infantry Marine.
