I agree and noticed much of the same which I wrote about on my blog in a post called, "Digital and Diversity Natives – Contribute to Obama’s Success," (http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.com/2008/11/digital-and-diversity-natives_05.html). I will link to your post for concrete examples of what I saw and felt. <BR/><BR/>Thank you.<BR/><BR/>Lisa Nielsen<BR/>Educating Innovatively at<BR/>http://theinnovativeeducator.blogspot.comLisa Nielsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07759123507185453030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-8507111764814526752008-11-09T07:57:00.000-07:002008-11-09T07:57:00.000-07:00Watching and participating in this election throug...Watching and participating in this election through a web 2.0 lens has been fascinating. It only dawned on me a few weeks ago that none of these tools really existed in mainstream America in 2004 and yet they totally revolutionized the way I participated in this election. In 2008 I was probably directed towards more political information through Facebook and Twitter relationships than real in-person relationships. Its amazing to think that this revolution is taking place and yet we're hardly talking about it school. PBS has an interesting curriculum - <A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/teachers/vote2008/blueprint/index.html" REL="nofollow">Access, Analyze & Act></A> for helping students understand 21st Century Civic Engagement. I plan on encouraging my teachers to use it. Here in California is interesting to watch how the same tools that helped Obama win are being used to mobilize protests to repeal Proposition 8. The revolution continues.Joehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01661737610513229561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-19691835313521938612008-11-09T02:15:00.000-07:002008-11-09T02:15:00.000-07:00Mobilize.org is currently working with young peopl...Mobilize.org is currently working with young people, ages 12 to 32, on a national project, the Democracy 2.0 Survey.<BR/><BR/>Mobilize.org, the national youth civic engagement organization, has launched the second annual administration of Democracy 2.0: An Annual Survey of the Millennial Generation. <BR/><BR/>The survey, which has was launched both on and offline this week, will ask Millennials about American society’s most important problems, the economy, technology use, and the role of the generation in the future of politics.<BR/><BR/>Questions on the survey were created entirely by Millennials. The survey is being implemented by members of the Millennial Generation, ages 12 to 32, in over 20 states. The survey is available online at http://tinyurl.com/5ulxnk. <BR/><BR/>We are an organization dedicated to getting the voice of every Millennial heard and have had great response from high school students already who have had the opportunity to take our online survey.Gagnierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13690200265672919072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16660456.post-66609018730004004022008-11-08T13:18:00.000-07:002008-11-08T13:18:00.000-07:00I truly enjoy your blog!

One of the comments from the NYTIMES realy hit home for me. It stated that the election process that Barak Obama used echoed that of John F. Kennedy. It went further to say that Kennedy's new medium was the television; Obama's was the internet. This opened my eyes to the power of technology.<BR/>I too am an educator. Working as an elemnetary counselor I have the opportunity to teach classroom lessons. Some of my lesson topics are as follows: citizenship, integrety, respect, and careers. I have just begun to incorporate technology into my lessons. My students love it! I have a long way to go but I am trying to integrate both character education and career awareness with the use of technology as the medium. Wish me luck!Sunshinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974611842473369535noreply@blogger.com
