It seems to me that microsoft is now playing “catch-up.” Their new search engine is just like the one google has had for some time now. On the other hand Google is coming up with new and innovative products.

i have been evaluating the search results of Microsoft Bing compared to Google and they are comparable. Bing gives almost the same relevant search results just like Google.

I’ll skip commenting on the apparent addiction to Twitter. Of greater interest are your observations regarding the benefits of blogging. This post is a must-read for those teachers still wondering how or why they should include blogging in their students’ activities. I know I will be strongly encouraging a few colleagues to read your insightful post.

Great insight! Tools such as Twitter allow us to be plugged in all the time. Not only that but they allow individuals and groups to share multiple layers of information and insight in a fast and concise matter. However, that does not mean we should abandon the more in depth discussions (I love your comment about Twitter robbing us of our ability to think through writing). After all, for Twitter to remain useful we need people to continue expanding upon the “symposium”, otherwise there will be nothing left for us to “tweet” about.

I also agree. I’m glad that it’s different. I enjoy all the new Technologies, Facebook etc and beginning a Visual Arts Blog has given me a new lease on life.I’ve come a long way since the 13 student rural school I attended in central Victoria Australia.One thing hasn’t changed, and that’s my love of learning. Let’s hope with all the changes we can still instill that in our students.

I completely agree, the world is entirely different from when we were young. I don’t understand how people can ignore that fact.

Having just sat through HOURS of PD about the need for our students to complete detailed and through career/education plans your post tonight hits a note. Our education systems are not currently set up to deal with randomness, to cope with a structure like the Google one you mention…and quite frankly, that’s sad – for the teachers, the results and, more importantly, the students.
