The issue of socialization and on-line learning has a parallel in the world of gaming and computing. The fear, some years ago, was that children would become isolated and socially inept as they sat in front of computers for entertainment’s sake, rather than socializing with friends in more traditional ways. While computing as a replacement for physical exercise remains a concern (though Wii is promising), concerns about socialization could not have been more wrong. Quite the opposite, Facebook, Twitter et al have created a generation of networked socializers unlike anything seen before.

Comment on New school models focusing on individualizing learning by James Fullerton

Currently a proposal is being outlined that will service high school students with the greatest threat of dropping out of public education. The five major cities we are interested in targeting with a pilot program would be Detroit, Philadelphia, Dallas, New York, and Allentown, PA (home advantage). All of these educational institutions are at the top of the threat list for student dropouts. A non-profit organization called Socratic Commons is forming this summer and will begin the grueling task of seeks the necessary funding for the pilot program to come to fruition. Socratic Commons is developing a list of possible board directors, of which, Mr. Christensen and you have made the shortlist. Once the proposal is completed, we would like to forward you a copy to review for your perspective, and possible network sharing of likeminded educators.
