The Daring Dozen 2008: Our Heroes | Edutopia
Just a quick post today (I'm using the bookmarking service Diigo to bookmark and annotate this link simultaneously) to point out Edutopia's 2008 edition of its annual Daring Dozen list. It reminds me of a friend currently reading Rafe Esquith's Teach Like Your Hair's on Fire, who recently announced to me that this particular book makes her want to be a better person. This list sparks the same inspiration in me; it makes me want to be an innovative thinker and activist. I particularly like the interviews at the bottom of each profile in which the dozen discuss their own sources of inspiration, uses of technology and advice for others.
If you could make your own Daring Dozen list, who would make your cut? Who are others out there that we all should know about?

ok, well now I can comment b/c I signed up for typekey. I just wanted to say that I really appreciate this great suggestion. As you know, I did my first half-dozen (thanks for your comment on my blog) and I already know who the other 6 will be. It is great to sit down and focus on all the positive, the people who inspire me, instead of looking to the negative and all the people who don't wanna deal with me and my crazy, techy, innovative ways! I am really excited to write part 2.
