Communism, Socialism, Capitalism

Building out my ePortfolio and my website is a time consuming process. A valuable process. As I pull together the pieces and read about ePortfolios and intellectual property, I am forced to consider my own feelings about ownership of ideas and work product. It turns out that my beliefs about work product are close in alignment with those of a sharing economy, and not of one where the state (employer or school system) owns your work or means of production. I also think that everyone should work hard towards the common good and people should be able to survive off of their hard work; however, I do not believe that any one person should be able to hold all of the marbles when others have none. 

The materials that I create, I share freely. The collections I aggregate, I make with love. The ideas I share, I give credit. I believe that collaboration, not competition, will make better teachers of us all.
