Policy Think Tank: Caledon Institute

I hadn't heard of these folks before. Looks like some interesting research, on a variety of topics which seem to intersect with our own interests.

Mapping educational theories

hey all--
looking for a map of educational theories from any era (19th C. to present), particularly if they address connections between theories of learning (psychological, sociological, philosophical) with policy implementation.

i know the big names i want to address in my comps (e.g. Dewey, Freire, Vygotsky, Piaget, etc.), but i'd like to see how someone else has conceived of their interrelatedness in order either to build on this conception or critique it.

Thanks; oh, and any ideas on the name change?? Or should it remain publicators?

bringing the publicators back?

rather than create a new blog, what about resurrecting the old one? any complaints if we do so? or, do we need a name change to christen a new era of applicator-ing, publicator-ing?

what about docticators? doctorators? PhDors (pronounced "fidders")?
