Forgive me if I'm stepping into an area I shouldn't be...I'm hoping to contribute in the area of educational technology. I would be happy to post a framework for the education page, which we can then edit as necessary. Thought?

Have at it! I'll be very interested, since I have a special interest in educational theory. I deleted the short notice you put on [[Education]], simply because I think we should make a practice of not placing anything on a page unless we write at least 50, and preferably 100, words on the topic itself. If we turn a red link blue, people should expect to find substantial information on the page. --[[User:Larry Sanger|Larry Sanger]] 08:27, 29 March 2007 (CDT) | Have at it!

This article states that "Education" is short for "Formal Education." That is simply not true. If it were, "Informal Education" would be an oxymoron. [[User:Elizabeth Lawver|Elizabeth Lawver]] 17:48, 21 June 2007 (CDT) | |||

Hi Bill,
Have at it! I'll be very interested, since I have a special interest in educational theory. I deleted the short notice you put on Education, simply because I think we should make a practice of not placing anything on a page unless we write at least 50, and preferably 100, words on the topic itself. If we turn a red link blue, people should expect to find substantial information on the page. --Larry Sanger 08:27, 29 March 2007 (CDT)
"Education" is not short for "Formal Education"
This article states that "Education" is short for "Formal Education." That is simply not true. If it were, "Informal Education" would be an oxymoron. Elizabeth Lawver 17:48, 21 June 2007 (CDT)

- Okay, I will. We also must come up with a better definition for education (one that encompasses informal education as well as formal education).
