Speaking of Blogs...7-25-07
Why not blog this week about the big question you'll be answering this Sat. "what do you understand and how did you come to that understanding". Many of you have a great resource in your blog b/c you've been talking about your journey all along, others of you have just touched upon the topic and will need to do this thinking now. Carol made a big point yesterday about wanting you to "go meta" in your Sat. talk about this question. What does that mean to you? Check out this site for a short definition.

YouTube Debate Tonight! 7-23-07Are you following the YouTube debate between presidential candidates that will take place based on video questions submitted by YouTubers? Check out this
article and
this one then go to CNN and check it out. There are people "
live blogging" the event and Edwards is having a live
"webcast" chat after the CNN event so people can ask him questions directly (this I've got to see). This is the future folks, don't snooze through it ;-) Lisa B.
