Every week I see something on the site that makes me think the message is getting through. Look forward to reading your thoughts as always. Thanks Bron Thanks JJ,

Personally I do look here before trolling the other sources, but I end up linking from here to them rather than writing my own stories, something I endeavour to alter in the near future. jj Bron,

The power of peer produced knowledge has often been scoffed at, but is originally the source of all news/education. In education, our role should be to point out that diverse opinions have always existed. It's not new - we just have greater ability to get that information out there. The power of peer produced knowledge is the choice available. Sure, some information will be dubious, but if we have the skills to evaluate and compare - this is not a problem - also, what's new - some information has always been suspect.... It seems to me that we have come full circle, and the citizen journalist/student-producer are again having the power to influence the stories we hear after decades of centralised control over storytelling. As someone involved in the educational field, my role is to help people learn to evaluate and choose the writers/producers they find interesting and valid.
