Imagine if we could get the power of educators to post their original thoughts instead of copying and pasting others, or linking to them, then the network will be worth its weight in gold.

Serving up many flashy Web 2.0 tools and cutting and pasting will do students more a disservice. Now if we can encourage students to use these tools and polish those important communication skills - that's energizing education! Great post. Hi Doug,
