The Internet and Our Brains

Here's an article from The Sun Magazine I recently sent to my colleagues. It's actually an interview, but the interviewee, Nicolas Carr, is extremely articulate and covers a wide range of topics on how the internet is shaping culture, our brains and behavior. Well worth the read.

Welcome.

Welcome to my blog. My intention is to make this site useful for teachers and staff the Hubbs Center for Lifelong Learning, as well as the teaching world at large. I welcome your input, comments, links, thoughts and suggestions. You can leave a comment on any post or email me on my profile page. Just click on my picture, in the right side column.

Right off the bat, I'm going to direct you to a website (also linked at the bottom of this page): www.ted.com TED is an acronym for Technology, Entertainment, Design. It is a conference held every year in California that gathers together emerging and well known people from across many fields. Each person speaks and/or gives a presentation that is 20 minutes long or less, on a topic. The website is continually being updated with recent and older talks. I highly suggest this talk, for example, on the the need for a sea change in education in the area of developing creativity. Enjoy and please share this site with others.
