I hadSpeaking personally, I realized one day that without intending todeveloped a critical community around my blog, agroup of people who were willing to save mefrom my own lousy classroom designchoices. They got better at giving criticism and I got better at receiving it. I alsogot better at posting the kind of rich, multimedia artifacts of classroom practice —photos, videos, handouts, etc. — that facilitated that criticism. I started to plan lessonswhile wondering at the same time, "What about this is gonna be worth sharing?"Lesson planning and blogging becamehopelessly and wonderfully tangled up.

“Accountability iswhats left when you take out responsibility.”

“I wish we could stop using the word "accountable" and instead talk about "responsible". It would make all the difference.”

“Distrust is anexpensive vice” Dave Weinberger “Too Big To Know”

If we create cultures of trust and sharing,accountability is built in,not contrived or imposed, it just is.
