		<description><![CDATA[Two conversations I have had lately have really made me think about students, teaching, technology and 21st Century skills. Added to that, a number of my former students have friended me on Facebook and have talked about what they remember about my class. Basically, my thoughts have been directed to the difference between what we, as teachers, want them to remember, and what they actually remember. Then, I am led to ponder how that melds with the specific memories that lead to success in their lives. Deep, huh? So, once again, I am on the trail of making meaning.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=maine121.org&amp;blog=9015003&amp;post=1151&amp;subd=maine121&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
