Whether it is the political culture you work in or the educational culture I work in, its not about the technology--its about the conversations, the collaborations, the learning, the bridging of all cultures--and yes, the transparency. I believe the transparency goes both ways as I wrote in a recent blog post where I encourage educators to follow policy makers and vice versa--we all have a lot to learn from each other. In the end, for all of us, its about working toward preparing our children for their (and our) future. It is the 21st century and we can no longer afford to keep our heads in the sand--although it is painful being a change agent with so many naysayers, status quo'ers, and saboteurs among us! The knowing-doing gap is huge and I appreciate your willingness as well as the others in politics to forge new ways to communicate and invite the conversation thru blogs and tweets. Nathan,
