I didn’t really know what a meme was before Todd hit me with one.  So I sat there for a moment thinking,  and then I did what I usually do when I don’t know something. I googled it. Well actually first I tried to make sense of the word “meme” by doing what I tell my students to do. Look at it in context. Try to figure it out that way, but I still really didn’t get it so I googled “meme” and landed in Wikipedia. The first thing I learned was that I had been pronouncing “meme” incorrectly. Meme apparently rhymes with theme. I’d been pronouncing meme as in memo. Yes, I know there’s some rule for pronouncing words that involves vowels, but I always forget it. Then, I read that meme “refers to a unit of cultural information transferable from one mind to another.” Ok, got it. That made sense. Todd was asking me to transfer my notion of ” What are seven qualities we don’t know about you that help you be a leader?” to others via a post in my blog.

I find my reaction interesting. Panic!!! I've been letting the question roll around in my head and I think by the weekend I'll be ready to comment. I did have one smart ass answer though (no disrespect intended because I do respect you) about my leadership qualities something about not following the crowd and responding to a meme but I do want to respond because it is a good question to reflect upon. Thank you for including me.:) Todd, I always thought I had lots to say, that is until you asked me to comment on my leadership qualities. I find my reaction interesting. Panic!!!

I am really enjoying following the links around to the different people and reading there responses. I love your one about "unsatisfied" your comment "there were no good ole day" is great. That is a big problem in education. Everyone always says "Well it worked before, why change it" and I love "When so and so was here it was better". Change takes way to long in education. Why? We are falling behind and quickly. Maybe the people who are doing all this blogging will be the saving grace of education. Brian Todd,
