SOS
Tim, I'll respond to both the message you sent me previously on
working on a proposal for the "education side" of the equation and to
this "SOS" email.
First, thanks for taking the time to put together this thoughtful
message Tim. As one that puts together more than his share of
responses and can readily appreciate the time it takes. I can also
understand and relate to your message both on the rationale of why
you are so passionate about some of these topics, and your current
"state of affairs" in the classroom. Having been on "your side of
the fence" in education for over 15 years I too am very passionate
about the issues of education and learning. I made the switch from
public education to business when I joined Autodesk, out of my
passion to have an effect on education and individuals beyond what I
was able to in my classrooms or the education institutions and
systems I was an adminstrating. So, let's agree that we, and many
others here, share this common passion and now move on to see what we
can do to turn these "ideas into reality", which is (not
coincidentally) Autodesk's vision statement.
I will continue to follow the threads here on CIS and look forward to
your resultant proposal such that we can move on to the most
appropriate next steps.
