In case you missed it, the concepts of Wikinomics are being translated into real world enterprises. Don Tapscott is working with Steve Papermaster and nGenera to implement the concepts of the book into the Global 2000 companies. Click the link http://is.gd/cjx to learn more.

Isn’t it great having so many random and anonymous people responding to my blog on this topic! Seriously, I always appreciate comments and the thought and time taken on them….Even Socks and Lucky told me last night, “Atta-boy!” Keep the bloggin’ goin’…..

Hello Mr. Kennedy,
I loved your creative humor. It’s so nice that the Trinity Family is so caring and compassionate about their wonderful head of school. Why, the Trinity community has as many caring people as Kansas does corn. Keep up the great work!

Hi Dad!
Like you said, my blog was a lot like yours, but mine came from a different point of view. Anyway, I liked it a lot (especially the heart bigger than an elephant in Kansas!) All those families were really nice to stop by. I’m glad that you’re grateful!

Yes!

One of the many wonderful things about your approach to blogging is the fact that you have students reading and responding. The delicate balance that you set between the humourous descriptions of your cats and the hidden metaphors is fabulous. Even if the metaphors are understood or realized, you have an audience that is both young and old as well as a fan base that is READING.

If you know any mice that need some help with the process of blogging, then send them my way. I am not sure if I can guide them in terms of the what/how to write (direct them to MH, DP, Emma, Lizzie, or yourself), but I am more than willing to show them the technical ends and outs of blogging.

I am sitting here with a sleeping cat on my lap, getting a wonderful laugh from this writing (and she’s not even stirring with the laughter). Obviously, the mouse caught on much faster than the cats to the idea of blogging. Perhaps if outsmarting becomes the game, that will influence that cat blogs to begin! And if the mouse poses as a cat to chat…well, now…that will be very interesting and all manner of sneaky cat maneuvers might be discovered!

My hope, increasingly, is that everyone — teachers, students, parents, others — all feel more and more open to learning something that can push them beyond their comfort zone….

I have always learned far more from students than I have taught than they ever learned from me — or that’s what I think was always occurring.

The blogging that the students are doing continues to amaze and delight me…And in large part, it’s because the teachers have done such an amazing job leading them.
