"Thanks, Bonnie, for introducing me to the Daily Papert. I just signed up. I admit, too, that I am not familiar with Papert's work, even though I did my masters in education, just a couple of miles down the road. How did I miss his contributions?"

Anyone Reading the "Daily Papert"?

February 20, 2011Posted Monday, February 21, 2011 · It takes intellectual chutzpah to be serious about replacing “using technology to improve education” by a similar sounding statement with a very different meaning: “inventing new visions of education in the context of a digital world.” And it takes personal chutzpah to face down members of the Education Establishment when they sneer (or worse, smile) at the idea of technology significantly influencing the content of education. “It is just a…See More

""Fearing the internet" is the reason that we should be putting as much emphasis on teaching kids how to be effective users (and stewards?) of the internet. What if schools reassigned some of the money that they currently direct to filters…"

Bonnie - Are you planning on going to the National Middle School Association annual conference in Baltimore in November? MSP2 is providing registration scholarships for 100 MSP2 members and thought you might want to take advantage of the opportunity. Kim

Hi Bonnie - Welcome aboard! It's really great that you've joined - I realize that you work with lots of teachers and others. It would be great to work with you to make sure that MSP2 is meeting the needs of all the middle school math and science teachers that support - not sure what that might look like but would like to have a conversation with you about that.

I also wanted to tell you a little about MSP2 - we are using this NING network as a place where educators can connect with each other (through answers to profile questions and the advanced Members search) and also as a way to connect educators with exemplary resources and professional development opportunities.

If you look on the Main page - you'll see MSP2 resources in the upper left hand box - we have resource guides where we have sifted and sorted and contextualized resources on topics important to middle school math and science teachers, an archive of all of our past webinars, the ability to search the MSP2 collection, and pages of teacher and student opportunities and grants. Our newest resource guide is about Teaching With Trade Books and includes lessons for science AND math classes.

We have on the right side of the page our two project blogs - Resources for Math and Science and Connecting News. We also RSS feed the Free Technology for Teachers, Teach Engineering, and Science and Technology NYT blog feeds.

So glad you joined - Kim
