I read the article A "Publish Then Filter World" on Weblogg-ed. This article was written by Will Richardson where he talked about how children need to be more educated on how to function in this "Publish then filter world." This means that when it comes to function in a personal learning network that you will have to edit published things by other people and vise versa. This world has come to the point where you must "publish" your document and then others will filter it or edit it. There is nothing you can do to stop people from leaving their opinion on the web. Our generation needs to be taught how to deal with this and how to "filter." Even though you can't stop people from speaking their mind you can "filter" it or try to change their opinion. Children need to be taught how to do this and what exactly this entails. The only way to learn how to handle these situations is to be taught to do it.

It was brought to my attention in this article that Presidential Candidate Obama has a strong web support. If he became president it could be that this idea of post then edit will be made known to more people and education of it will increase. This could also be any presidential candidate. Something that the President should do is increase the standards for new technology education.

I have not heard of this idea till i read this blog and ii realized the significance of the personal learning network and of the post then edit world we are in. These ideas need to be taught so others will understand and so more students will flourish. Personal learning networks need to be kept going and so the post then edit idea needs to be taught.
