No, that’s not what I am going to write about, it’s a blog called “Dangerously Irrelevant” written by Dr. Scott McLeod, a professor at Iowa State University.  I’ve just recently started reading his blog regularly.  He as been posting quotes from the book. The Game of School, by Robert Fried.   I haven’t read the book, I haven’t even read all of Dr. McLeod’s posts.  However, I find them very engaging for discussion.  Somewhat on the line of what Sir Ken Robinson had to say.  I think we really need to rethink how we have school and what our purpose is.  You can read his blog here.  Personally, I find his blog one of the best educational blogs to read.

Many of you who are part of the blogged^2 at RMS were wondering what the purpose of blogging was and why they might want to do it.  I was purposely vague because I believe blogging is about finding your own voice.  I could have given you a list of things to write about, but I didn’t want you to just tell me what you thought I wanted to hear, I wanted you to have a real experience with blogging.

As we move into the final week of Blogged^2 I may post a few more blogs that you might find interesting or inspiring.
