I tend not to cite Scott McLeod because he's a relentless self-promoter (and admits as much in this post) but I think he raises a good point - and, implicitly, a good question. The good point is this: should we continue to pay education professors who continue to do their work in secret, publishing only in closed academic journals, hiding their work from any sort of real public scrutiny? The good question is this: McLeod says, "I don't know how many Educational Leadership faculty members are really trying to be thought leaders. I know that I am (which is why I vigorously use social media tools)...," which makes me wonder, should it be the use of social media tools that makes someone a thought leader, or should it he the having of good thoughts? The two questions resonate.
