Its official… I am a contributing blogger for the Professional Learning Community.  They led off today with my first contribution - Is this our Sputnik?

Here is a “teaser.”

In 1957, Russia’s launch of the Sputnik satellite was a shock to the American psyche. To that point, we were sure that the U.S. held a technological edge over the rest of the world...Our response to this shock resulted in a dedication to improving education and investing in technological research. A little more than a decade later, Americans were walking on the moon. The U.S. had firmly established itself as the global leader in science and technology…Over the past few weeks, the American psyche has been shocked again.
