Hi Bob,
I'm unsure I understand your first sentence: do you mean that the
discussions on the list are really not a way to consider how research
and practice might be brought together? I was thinking that George was
spot on with his view that the exchange of ideas on the lists
constitutes a forum for bringing together research and practice.
Maybe it's just me at 6 a.m. on turkey day, but I got the impression
that you don't really value what discussions happen on the lists
("occasional
gems and frequent babble that pervades the lists"), or at least don't
view the bulk of what is encouraged to happen as something of value. So
please correct me if I'm wrong. I tend to feel that the lists are one
of the very few opportunities for us as adult educators to truly connect
across geography, program type, even time doesn't matter here. So for
me, I am interested in pretty much everything people have to say because
some of it I'm unfamiliar with and probably should be aware, and some of
it directly speaks to my issues and concerns.
Anyway, here's to different points of view,
marie

What a beautiful and high-minded interpretation of the occasional
gems and frequent babble that pervades the lists.
Your contributions, however, are unquestionably in the first
category.
Do I remember correctly that you have a book on the history of
literacy in the U.S. being published about this time?

Hi Jackie,
A quick thought.
The lists themselves are one critical way in which research, theory and
practice are brought together. To push this the lists may be viewed as
a mammoth scale practitioner-based inquiry project in which the
individual posts may be viewed as primary data. The inquiry is expanded
when messages are compared to or correlated to each other and broader
streams of discussion threads are examined. While this doesn't address
the on-site issue, I think it's valuable to examine our own collective
practice as a good example of inquiry based practice in "real time" over
a wide geographical span.

Hello again, everyone,
What successes have you had in helping teachers link research and
practice?
What was the activity or activities, and what happened as a result?
What challenges have you faced in helping teachers link research and
practice?
What happened, and what did you do? What might you do differently in
the
future? What support, if any, would be beneficial to you in helping
teachers
build an evidence-based practice?
Thanks so much! I look forward to hearing your experiences.
