# 01.11.07

Cores 1-4:

- Before we start our next major thematic unit based upon curriculum and knowledge that I think is important, I would like us to spend one more day thinking big about what and how we should be learning.
- I told you yesterday about a English Professor who was using a virtual world as a place to meet for her classes. Well, last night I did a little more research about what kids were doing with second life, and I found a site called [Holy Meatballs](http://www.holymeatballs.org/). This site is actually all about connecting kids around the world to talk about big issues, ideas, and trends in technology, society, and culture. This site inspired me to start a discussion with all of you about what learning can be if we only decide to make it happen.
- So, I would like all of us to take today and think as big as we can about how learning in your generation can be more powerful than any other. I would like you to start thinking about [what a perfect learning environment will look like.](http://conversate.org/conversation/3JTD3)
