In the Fall semester, I spend every Friday at my kids' school, working in their classrooms. Wouldn't trade it, even for a higher salary. I understand soooo much more about their lives.

Mickey :) You are right on. The time I spend there, like today, and when I go help with a little something means so much to me. I really know the school, the people, and the vibe. I wouldn't trade it.

"Collective leadership is "the capacity of a group of leaders to deliver a contribution in service of the common good through assuming joint and flexible leadership, according to what is perceived and required" (Kunkel 2005). Collective leadership "embraces diversity of people and perspectives, unleashes self-organizing and the collective intelligence that exists when people come together to act" (Gauthier 2006). At the heart of collective leadership are groups of diverse people who are connected and taking actions that positively affect themselves and their communities."

updated working definition: "A learning ecosystem is a framework for understanding new learning environments that incorporate a variety of tools (ie: course management systems, Web 2.0 applications) and multiple touch points (web, client, mobile) that aims to make transparent to the members of the learning community various channels (relationships, pathways, protocols) in support of learners (who learn in a variety of contexts) as facilitated by a master learner who models the strategies of how to use the channels."

really cool page -- will need to look up the articles cited there -- "ecosystem" is the metaphor I use for understanding learning as well, but I didn't know there was such a good vocab for it present already (problem of not being in education as an academic discipline)
