I would like to make two points about "the textbook initiative." 1. It's not about text anymore. Educators need to shift to a variety of media.
2. It's not about books anymore. "Book" is the metaphor for a huge producer-consumer divide and broadcast models of learning. The efficiency of broadcast models is lower than the first steam engine prototypes. Educators need to shift to co-production and participatory models of learning. -- Cheers, MariaD Make math your own, to make your own math. http://www.naturalmath.com social math site http://groups.google.com/group/naturalmath future math culture email group http://www.phenixsolutions.com empowering our innovations
