Just this week I fell short trying to relate to my students the concept that action trumps 'perfect'. I thought "ready, fire, aim" would get the point across buy I came up short. The video (and post) will clarify my point. Thanks. I will let you know the verdict.

21st Century Education Technology Skills Utilize 20th Century Lateral Thinking n his fantastic book Everything Is Miscellaneous, David Weinberger takes the reader through a tour of the digital order that is changing how we approach, knowledge and information. This new digital order, built on bits, not atoms allows students to think about information and knowledge in different ways. In a way, it is very similar to what Edward de Bono spoke of in his book Lateral Thinking, which was first published 38 years ago, in 1970.
