K-12 education is still in the dark ages ... it might as well be 1820 in most classrooms. It's time to apply some of what we have learned about online learning and digital curriculum in the past 20 years. I’m glad you were able to find something to get this conversation going.

Squidoo pages are about becoming an 'expert' in whatever niche you desire. For instance, the boing boing lens I created has generated a ton of traffic and almost as much email - it's ranked #7 at squidoo and #5 in a <a href=http://www.google.com/search?hs=TjQ&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=boingboing+%2B+squidoo&btnG=Search rel="nofollow">search of google</a> I think the social aspect of it is just starting to shine through - and more of it to come. I don't think, like MySpace (or LinkedIn, even)it will be about who you know, it will be about who The Experts are that you know. I've seen quite a bit of linking between lenses, and I think there's a lot more to come. I think the more social aspect of squidoo is behind-the-scenes, where myspace is more transparent.
