http://paulrallison.blogspot.com/2007/04/how-far-away.html When I first heard of the shootings in Virginia, I thought about Lee. How far away was her school and her students? I looked at her students markers on a CommunityWalks map that we had been working on together. As I was working, I zoomed from place to place, noticing -- as we often do -- how close we all are. Here's a Google Earth map that shows where the shootings took place, but it also has all the markers on it from our bloggers in the Personal Learning Space and Youth Voices. I don't know why distance matters to me on this one. I also feel close to the parents who sent their young people away to college, for this? And I'll be sending my sons away just like that in a few years.
