Can you leave a comment about your opinion? Do you agree with Robinson? Are you doing anything in your class to avoid killing creativity? Are you stuck to academic education?

I bagan exploring the net and that same year I opened my firs e-group: English Virtual Community. My first steps on the Internet were really awful.
