Socratic Monologue
The Myth of John Dvorak
John Dvorak recently wrote on The Myth of Disruptive Technology. Here’s my favourite line:
The concept of disruptive technology goes to the top of my list as the biggest crock of the new millennium.
Yeah – sure thing, John. Coincidentally, many people consider John Dvorak to be the biggest crock of the old millenium (which begs the question why someone is still paying him to write?). I can only comment that John Dvorak would probably have told Johannes Gutenberg was wasting his time with the printing press. I guess history will be the judge.

- My grade 9 students are learning/practicing photographic composition. See their work at http://t.co/c2lkNTDv
- @shareski I think you owe him for all the pictures of his kids you put in them.
- @shareski I thought design mattered.
- @cptteacher Thanks for your comments back to the students. They will be happily surprised to be getting comments from outside school.
- @pstratton08 Exactly my thoughts. And I think that knowing your work is going to be on display encourages students to find good photos.
