Futuriness is kinda like truthiness, but completely different. I’ll define futuriness as:

An event that has revolutionary qualities but could just be filled with hype and hot air.

Students 2.0 launched today. I can’t tell if this is an Alice-through-the-looking-glass moment or another blip on the radar screen. I’m hoping it’s the former. Part of my Irish-Catholic upbringing bristles at this open learning environment. The other 98% of me is waiting with bated breath to see this site catch fire. Sure it has the opportunity to fall flat on its face. But what genuine learning experience doesn’t have face-falling-flat quality to it.

I wonder if I can replicate this for my own students, within the walls of our school.
