mob rules

I loved the article about the mob.  It enlightened me on the ways of the mob.  I am also glad that they implicated a company that I think is fast becoming a monopoly and a poor service provider, At&t. The article described AT&T as a “politically power” because they are too large for their own good.  I have just written a blog about the problems I was having with At&t not providing good service because they know that there is no other option for me to turn to.  I feel that since I am blogging that I am part of the mob and as a member of the mob, I have a voice that I may help to cause a change in AT&T.  Not likely, but that is the message that I took from the article.  If enough people communicate together than they can create a difference.  This to me is the way that it can effect learning and education.  If teachers and administrators come together all on one topic, they can create a change, like the article said.  I feel that just communicating with people that feel the same way you do will help to create change.  Maybe not world change, but just a change in the way you teach or use technology.  We as teachers and life long learners are always looking for ideas and new ideas to use in our classes, so why not create that on the web.  TappedIn creates this, but we just don’t have enough people using it to make it really useful and it doesn’t have a storage system that teachers could upload lesson plans or activities to.  The time is now and the ones that are in the mob are going to go places, but those outside might just get left behind.
