Whether it is military training or business processes, it is a one-way, trickle down, industrial approach. It assumes that the elite know what has to be done and the worker bee student must obey to pass or keep a job. Driven by the powers of industrial workforce management, we have built learning management systems (LMS) as machines for one-way authoritarian instruction. Industrial learning methods are expensive, time consuming, and filled with standards, restrictions, and ironically out of sync with how we actually learn everyday in the real world and on the Web. In colonial learning, we actually hoard knowledge, protecting it as intellectual property or SCORM standards. This contrasts sharply with the Web that gives knowledge away. WebMD (<a href="http://www.webmd.com/">http://www.webmd.com/</a>) is global, free education.</span></div>

A few years ago I was freezing in Times Square New Years Eve with my daughter and several hundred thousand people. When the Chrystal ball went down for the count you could hear every language of the world yelling and thousands of cell phone steaming the noise and images throughout the world. It felt like being in the center of the world, because for that moment we were. Contented to every country imaginable flow from where we stood. The joy and peace…

A few years ago I was freezing in Times Square New Years Eve with my daughter and several hundred thousand people. When the Chrystal ball went down for the count you could hear every language of the world yelling and thousands of cell phone steaming the noise and images throughout the world. It felt like being in the center of the world, because for that moment we were. Contented to every country imaginable flow from where we stood. The joy and peace in the air brought us all to tears, laughter and hugs.<br />
We now have such much power to heal the world, we now have no excuse not to try.<br />
May we all see the New Year with new eyes and refreshed hearts of hope.<br />
<br />
On this note I was just finished a White Paper for a Library conference in India. In writing it, it became obvious that the global library system can not only become a global education and knowledge distribution system but small towns are now empower to publish original material and build learning communities on health, farming, microeconomics and deliver k-12 education curriculum. This is a wonderful opportunity for us all.<br />
<br />
So we invite you to read the brief paper on: <a href="http://globallearningframework.ning.com/forum/topics/libraries-as-community" target="_blank">“Libraries as Community Education Centers and Publishing Houses”</a> <a href="http://globallearningframework.ning.com/forum/topics/libraries-as-community">http://globallearningframework.ning.com/forum/topics/libraries-as-community</a><br />
<br />
Wish you and your families a New Year of hope and success<br />

Hello, all,<br />
<br />
On March 3-6th, in Boston, MA, DrupalCon 2008 will take place.<br />
<br />
Drupal ( <a href="http://drupal.org">http://drupal.org</a> ) is a content management system used to build traditional web sites, as well as more complex publishing platforms, social learning environments, newspapers, portfolio applications, blogging applications, school-specific YouTube clones, etc. In addition to being wildly flexible, secure, and stable, Drupal has the added benefit of being open source.<br />

<br />
If you are at a school looking for options with expanding your web presence, this conference could help show some of the many options available. If your school is already running Drupal, this conference will provide the opportunity to meet other people using Drupal in schools, as well as provide the opportunity to meet many of the active developers within the Drupal community.<br />
<br />
I am helping to organize some of the education-specific events: an informal meetup at Legal's Test Kitchen on Monday, March 3, and an Education-specific session within the DrupalCon. There are other education-related sessions proposed, as well as sessions of general interest to people working with (or thinking about working with) Drupal.<br />
<br />
If you or anyone from within your school has questions, feel free to respond on-forum, or contact me directly.<br />
<br />
Useful DrupalCon Links:<br />
