Dear Darren:

I heard good things about your work all weekend. Congratulations on the work you do.

However, it seems unfair to be castigated for something another blogger wrongly reports that I said. The blog you cite is wrong and does not accurately represent my views.

I'm concerned that people I do not know are getting worked up about something I did not say.

Best Wishes,

Gary S. Stager, Ph.D.

Hi Gary,

First, if the tone of my post sounds like "castigation" let me apologize; that was not my intent.

I was taken aback by the comments you made at EduCon 2.0. It seems to me highly unlikely that Clarence would misrepresent something he heard said. I've known him professionally and personally for years now and I have never known him to do such a thing.

The thing that I was "worked up" about was the suggestion that teachers are talking about powerful pedagogical applications of web 2.0 technologies but not following it up with actions. Clearly, that's not the case. And that is the only point I wanted to make in my post. I can see how this might come across as a personal attack. I apologize for that too.

I look forward to the day we get a chance to meet face to face and discuss teaching and learning in the modern age over a cup of coffee.

Until then Gary,
Cheers.
