"Wisdom of Crowds" and Joining In

In my grad class we were assigned some readings, and one struck me not so much for the content itself, but the fact that, like me, so much of this new way of sharing educational ideas was new to the blogger, and he is a first year principal.  Within my district, administration has been very open to using applications such as Facebook, Blogging and Twitter and bringing them into the classroom and community.

So many educators are very reluctant to engage in these types of forums, and are not only missing wonderful learning experiences for themselves, but more importantly, missing out on educational opportunities for their students.
