Shirky observes that his female students tend to miss out on career opportunities because they rarely promote themselves like "arrogant self-aggrandizing jerks", as his male students seem far better able to do. Last year, Clay Shirky wrote a now-infamous blog post called " A Rant About Women ". Lots of familiar themes here.

Chris Brogan started a wonderful "open thread" that ignited quite a few comments and discussion. As Holly Ross notes on the NTEN blog , Chris doesn't like to call himself an expert.

We want students to engage in learning because the learning itself was motivating to the student. As educators we strive to facilitate experiences where the content is so rich, the activity so engaging, and/or the skill so problem solving that students are motivated internally to continue to learn.

Kudos to LACMA for being a "big tent" willing to let weirdos do art and hold their own discussion groups in and around the Art.
