We are becoming people of the screen. The fluid and fleeting symbols on a screen pull us away from the classical notions of monumental authors and authority. On the screen, the subjective again trumps the objective. The past is a rush of data streams cut and rearranged into a new mashup, while truth is something you assemble yourself on your own screen as you jump from link to link.
This article shares that communication and trust are critical in the relationship between chief technology officer and superintendent into order to integrate technology successfully into all facets of education.
Trouble is, Martin Eisenstadt [who several reporters/bloggers have attributed the Palin not knowing Africa is a continent story to] doesn’t exist. His blog does, but it’s a put-on.

We are social creatures who must interact for mutual benefit, and — the negative version — who harbor grudges when we feel we’ve been treated unfairly. Without a sense of fairness and also a level of trust, without a system of reciprocal altruism and tit-for-tat — one good turn deserves another, and so does one bad turn — no one would ever lend anything, as there would be no expectation of being paid back. And people would lie, cheat and steal with abandon, as there would be no punishments for such behavior.
